SynopsisIn a new sociocultural environment, migrant identities are constantly repositioned. Exploration of this experience aids understanding of the fluid and flexible nature of identity itself. In Identity, Language and Culture in Diaspora, Maryam Jamarani deals with 'diasporic identities' and advances a paradigm in which 'becoming', rather than 'being', is emphasised. Jamarani investigates changes in the identity of first generation Iranian Muslim women in Australia. Before migrating to Australia most of this group spent the first twenty years of their lives in the Westernoriented monarchy of Iran and then, after the 1978 Islamic Revolution, lived under the Islamic antiWestern government of the country. What effects have this distinctive experience had on the linguistic, cultural, national, gender and religious identity of individuals within this grouping? Jamarani aims to identify the core values that these women continue to hold after migration, as well as areas where their values have changed. Engaging with contemporary theories of acculturation, Jamarani proposes a novel, sociolinguistically enhanced acculturation model, emphasising the significance of the fluid and flexible nature of identity, which holds out the promise of shedding new light on the acculturation process of migrants in general. This book will be of interest to scholars around the world researching and teaching in the areas of identity, language, culture, gender and migration., Over recent decades, there has been a great influx of migrants from Iran to various parts of the globe due to various socio-political upheavals. This group has a unique characteristic before migrating to Australia, North America, and Europe. They had lived the first 20 years of their lives in the Western-oriented monarchy of Iran, and then, after the 1978 Islamic Revolution, under the Islamic anti-Western government of the country. This fascinating book investigates changes in the identity of a specific group of these migrants: first generation Iranian Muslim women in Australia. These women have experienced contact-based processes, such as acculturation and adaptation to a new social context. The focus of this study is on investigating modifications in five different aspects of identity: linguistic, cultural, national, gender, and religious. The book examines whether the attitudes of these women are influenced by socio-cultural, language, and time factors, and it identifies the core values that they continue to hold after migration., Over recent decades there has been a great influx of migrants from Iran to various parts of the globe due to various socio-political upheavals.
