The Persian Square: 101 Things To Know About Iranian-Americans amazon/Persian-Square-Things-About-Iranian-Americans-ebook/dp/B00S3ZALMQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421692195&sr=8-1&keywords=The+persian+square+ardalan “Iranian Americans, so long stuck in the shadows of America’s immigrant story, emerge in The Persian Square in vibrant color,” says Dr. Firouz Naderi, Director of Solar System Exploration at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. On February 11, 1979, the Islamic Revolution of Iran uprooted millions of Iranians from their ancient homeland. Until fairly recently, Iranian Americans have been one of this countrys quietest minorities. Their presence has animated great cities like Los Angeles and their traditions – from the transcendent poetry of Rumi, to aromatic kabobs to the Persian New Year celebration of the vernal equinox – have seeped into mainstream American experience. But even a decade ago, Iranian Americans civic voice was a whisper, and their coming of age story as immigrants to America a tale told in living rooms rather than documentaries and coffee table books. All that is gradually changing today, with multiple generations of Iranian Americans becoming highly visible players at the forefront of virtually every field in America today. NPR Senior Producer, Iran Davar Ardalans storytelling draws on her grandparents first meeting in New York in an intimate but historically grounded telling of how America and Iran came together both in her life, and in the world. The result is a deeply personal portrait of her community, whose confidence and accomplishments grows by the day. Ardalan encourages the public to also share their personal stories living between Iran and America for possible inclusion in upcoming volumes.
