@Book{817710639, author="Wagenknecht, Maria Diana", title="But I'm from here now: constructing identity in Iranian-American self-narrative", year="2013", address="Rostock", abstract="This thesis explores some of the most predominant strategies that Iranian-American autobiographers employ in constructing their identities. Unable to relocate to a post-revolutionary Iran and facing ongoing discrimination in the USA, Iranian Americans are precariously suspended between cultures and have to answer the question, ``What does it mean to be Iranian-American?'' In order to gain insight into the self-constructions of Iranian Americans, I examine thirteen autobiographies from a text and communication pragmatics perspective, and include additional material from ten further memoirs.", note="vorgelegt von Maria Diana Blaim", note="Aus rechtlichen Gr{\"u}nden ist der Volltext dieses Dokuments seit dem 03.08.2017 nicht mehr verf{\"u}gbar", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2013", doi="10.18453/rosdok_id00001454", url="http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00001454", url="https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00001454", language="English" }
