  • “Assimulation” in the Land of Ten-Thousand Iranian Communities
    “Assimulation” in the Land of Ten-Thousand Iranian Communities: Public Assimilation Strategies, Private Preservation Identities A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Tracy Jo Zank IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY/ANTHROPOLOGY Dr. William O. Beeman September 2016 © Tracy Jo Zank 2016 i Acknowledgements With heartfelt thanks to my committee and friends in the Anthropology Department at the University of Minnesota, who have been instrumental in the fruition of this endeavor. William O. Beeman My advisor, who made, and makes things happen. Your arrival at the Anthropology Department was a serendipitous pearl in my string of Iranian-related bonds. The combined pure-applied anthropological approach you brought to the Department has been indispensable in expanding opportunities for “non-traditional” anthropology students. Your support in this capacity is remarkable. Hail to your creative spirit! David Valentine Amazing “cheerleader-chair,” whose inquiries, e-mails, concerns, support, and follow-up helped me to keep my head together as well as atop my body. Three cheers! David Lipset A solid rock in the river’s endless flow. Your persistent, unspoken confidence in me has provided an essential backdrop since I embarked on this journey. Iraj Bashiri Willing “outsider,” who served as a critical “insider” and eye in the reading of my dissertation. Support Staff With appreciation for help in tying up the loose ends, and ii lending an ear when stress levels were at a peak: Marge, Terri, Marjorie, Kara, Nicole, the student workers, and others whom I have missed inadvertently. My “Anthro-Peeps” For embracing, rather than alienating, the “grandmother” in their midst.

  • Farsi (Persian) for Beginners
    2 3 DEDICATION For Sofia, my daughter living in three worlds. May you be the link: logos, pathos, and mythos 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENT I would like to express my gratitude to many people who helped me with this book. My sister Ameneh (Maliheh) Atoofi who patiently and meticulously proofread the manuscript many times, provided me with valuable advice on contents, and organized many other aspects such as photos and sound files. Of course, I am indebted to other members of my family for the creation of this book, some with their wonderful photographic skills (Donya and Majid), and others with the sound files and advice (Nahid, Haydeh, Homyra, Davood, Mehran, Baran, Bahareh, Majid, Donya, Diba, Banafsheh, Azadeh, and Marjan). I have been very fortunate to be around wonderful people who constantly encouraged me and gave me moral support in this project: my soulmate Viviana and my best of friends and family, Marjan Shokri and Alireza Keshvari. I would also like to thank my editors and reviewers for their wonderful comments and suggestions. It has been great learning from the masters. 5 Saeid Atoofi, Ph.D. Content Advisor: Maliheh (Ameneh) Atoofi TUTTLE Publishing Tokyo | Rutland, Vermont | Singapore 6 The Tuttle Story: “Books to Span the East and West” Many people are surprised to learn that the world’s leading publisher of books on Asia had humble beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. Immediately after WWII, Tuttle served in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur and was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry.

  • HOI-March-2016.Pdf
    EMPOWERMENT DIVERSITY EQUALITY Message from the President Editorial Sussan Johnsen As we are approaching spring time, we open the windows to our gardens, we smell the Ebrahim Davodi Far sweetness and softness of cherry blossoms around us and admire the beauty and colors of March owers, we observe the morning dews on the daodils and hyacinths in our ower beds, and we hear the love songs of colorful birds while feeding their new born babies in their 2016 nests, Persians all over the world celebrate the coming of Nowruz. Nowruz tradition goes back to thousands of years ago, meaning “newday/daylight”. This Persian Festival of spring starts at the exact moment of the vernal equinox, commencing the start of the spring. As President of the House of Iran, and on behalf of the Board of Directors of House of Iran, I wish every one of you a happy Nowruz and I invite you to join us for a day of celebration in the House of Iran cottage and on the stage for a joyful celebration of this pride of our heritage on March 27th in Balboa Park. We have worked hard in bringing you the best program possible, so, join us in the park and let us celebrate Nowruz together. It has been a long wish of our Board and the pioneers of House of Iran to get the young, smart and brilliant generation of Iranian-Americans involved in running the House of Iran, and I am proud to say that most of our Board members are of this caliber.
