She sought an escape from the suffocation she felt under the cultural rules of her country and the future her family had envisioned for her. While she settled uneasily into American life, the political unrest in Iran intensified and in February of 1979, Farideh?s family was forced to flee Iran on the last El-Al flights to Tel Aviv. They arrived in Israel as refugees, having left everything behind including the only home Farideh?s father had ever known.Baba, as Farideh called her father, was a well-respected son of the chief rabbi and dayan of the Jews of Shiraz. During his last visit to the United States in 2006, he handed Farideh his memoir that chronicled the years of his life after exile: the confiscation of his passport while he attempted to return to Iran for his belongings, the resulting years of loneliness as he struggled against a hostile bureaucracy to return to his wife and family in Israel, and the eventual loss of the poultry farm that had supported his family. Farideh translated her father?s memoir along with other documents she found in a briefcase after his death. Leaving Iran knits together her father?s story of dislocation and loss with her own experience as an Iranian Jew in a newly adopted home. As an intimate portrait of displacement and the construction of identity, as a story of family loyalty and cultural memory, Leaving Iran is an important addition to a growing body of Iranian?American narratives. 410 0$aOur lives (Edmonton, Alta.) 606 $aJews, Iranian$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aIranian American women$vBiography 606 $aIranians$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aRefugees$zUnited States$vBiography 610 $a1979 Islamic revolution 610 $adislocation 610 $aShirazi Jews 610 $aimmigration 610 $adiaspora 610 $aIranian 610 $aShah 610 $aJewish 615 0$aJews, Iranian 615 0$aIranian American women 615 0$aIranians 615 0$aRefugees 676 $a305.8924073 700 $aGoldin$b Farideh$f1953-$0887110 801 0$bFINmELB 801 1$bFINmELB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137526203321 996 $aLeaving Iran$91981033 997 $aUNINA
