The purpose of this chapter is to identify the causes that Iranians migrate out of their country, as well as the struggles and strengths of acculturation for first-generation Iranian refugees in the United States (U.S.). Many individuals and clinicians are unaware of how to work with certain immigrant and refugee populations, and this review will inform those individuals and clinicians of ways to work with, treat, and help these families upon arrival and acculturation into the U.S. Ten participants were interviewed to share experiences of their acculturation process in the U.S. Themes were found from the interviews to include language barriers, isolation from families, and lifestyle changes. This chapter will include additional research about why Iranian refugees fled Iran, historical information about the Islamic Republic and its regulations on its people, as well as the acculturation process for Iranian refugees in the United States.

“…Hossein's claims to the caliphate were not recognized by the former Caliph, Yazid and caused him to lead a rebellion against the impious tyranny of the Sunnis (Akhavi 1983: 208). These conflicts and disagreements of Imam Hossein with the caliph as well as the resistance struggle led to the catastrophe of Karbala 3 in 680 and the 1 Studies on Iranian women's cultural lives include: Aghaie 2005; Ansari and Martin 2002;Bahramitash and Hooglund 2011;Beck and Nashat 2004;Goldin 2009Goldin , 2004Hemmasi 2017;Hendelman-Baavur 2019;Huang 2014;Kalinock 2004Kalinock , 2003Khosronejad 2015;Kousha 2002;Molana and Sadat 2020;Najmabadi 2005;Ohanlelham 2020;Soomekh 2012. 2 Iran is a country with over 85 million inhabitants and various gender categorizations exist in the country.…”

Islamization of Iran over the centuries has caused the marginalization of women. After the Islamic revolution of 1979 and with the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the position of women in society changed fast. Iranian women struggled to recover elements of their freedom, social roles, cultural rights, and artistic activities that had been encouraged and supported by the last Iranian monarchy, the Pahlavi Dynasty . While women's cultural activities in music and dramatic arts reduced, Iranian women from religious Shiʻa families developed and expanded private cultural activities, among them several religious rituals, which are public to all women from their cities. Many of these rituals involve musical and theatrical elements. They are led by at least one female leader who guides the ritual attendees and performs the ceremony. While in some traditions, female leadership is assigned a completely political role, in many local cultures, this kind of leadership is predominantly related to artistic or religious activities. This chapter deals with the female leadership in local ritual traditions practiced by Iranian-Arab-Shiʻa women from an ethnographic perspective. It explores how female leaders have or have not been able to adapt, sustain, and develop their practices. The main focus is on the women's rituals from Khorramshahr city in the south-western Iranian province of Khuzestan.

“…Little is known on how systemic processes of oppression, such as those in the context of COVID-19 or rooted in colonization, shape Canadian Muslim nurses’ experiences of racism. Further, gendered forms of anti-Muslim racism are even less likely to be studied and when they are, the focus is often on Muslim men or through a male gendered paradigm that renders Muslim women silent (Aziz, 2012; Molana, 2019; Strossen, 2007). Hence, we proposed that understanding the experiences of nurses who wear a hijab contributes to addressing this gap in nursing knowledge and offers a unique window into the interplay of multilevel power structures within nursing that sustain privilege and oppression.…”

Background Islamophobia or, anti-Muslim racism, and more specifically, gendered islamophobia targeting Muslim women who wear a hijab is rising globally and is aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, anti-Muslim racism is not well understood in Canadian nursing. Purpose This study utilized narrative inquiry to understand anti-Muslim racism through the experiences of nurses who wear a hijab with the goal of putting forward their counter-narrative that disrupts anti-Muslim racism in Canadian nursing. Methods Narrative inquiry informed by Critical Race Feminism, care ethics, and intersectionality were used to analyze the factors shaping anti-Muslim racism and composite narratives were used to present the results. Results The three composite narratives are: ‘This is Who I Am: A Muslim Nurse with a Hijab and an Accent’; ‘I Know What is at Play: Unveiling Operating Power Structures and Power Relations’; and ‘Rewriting the Narrative: Navigating Power Structures and Power Relations’. These composite narratives constituted the nurses’ counter-narrative. They revealed intersections of gendered, racial divisions of labour and religious narratives that shape anti-Muslim racism, as operating power relations in nursing, and how Muslim nurses reclaimed control to resist their racialized stereotypes. Conclusion Findings suggest that anti-Muslim racism in nursing operates through multiple intersecting power relations. Using stories can mobilize transformational change so that anti-racist practices, policies, and pedagogy can be embraced.
