| Summary: | The manuscript is a work of cultural studies, arguing that "art," creative work in various forms, can serve to help transcend political binaries and foster identification of the political/ethnic "other." Specifically, it examines the work of Iranian women visual artists and writers living in the diaspora, including well-known figures like Marjane Satrapi and Shirin Neshat, and up-and-comers such as Amir Soltani and Parsua Bashi. Ebrahimi explores both classic and hybrid art forms, including graphic novels and photo-poetry, to advocate for the importance of aesthetics to inform and influence a global community. |
