NAYEREH TOHIDI
In California, the popular face of immigration tends to be either Latin American or
Asian, but large numbers of immigrants who come from other regions in the world,
especially the Near East, have been quietly reshaping California demography. In this
study, Nayereh Tohidi focuses on the Iranians who have come to Los Angeles in the
wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, largely middle- and upper-middle-class Tehrani-
ans who have fled the repressive policies of the current post-Shah, fundamentalist
regime. But American freedoms have offered particular challenges to Iranian immi-
grants, especially women, who tend to have more egalitarian views of marital roles
than Iranian men, in Tohidis words, a discrepancy that has led to new conflicts
between the sexes. Thus, Iranian women immigrants are at once freer than their
sisters in Iran, more conflicted, and more in need of a new identity acceptable to
their ethnic community and appropriate to the realities of their host country. Tohidi
is an associate professor of womens studies at California State University, Northridge.
She directs a new program in Islamic Community Studies at CSUN and is also a re-
search associate at the Center for Near Eastern Studies at the University of Califor-
nia, Los Angeles. Tohidis publications include Feminism, Democracy, and
