To what extent do women accept, adjust and challenge the intersecting and shifting relations of cultural, political and religious discourses that organize their (sexual) lives?Seeking to expand the focus on changing gender roles and construction of diasporic femininities and sexualities in migration studies, Farahani presents an original analysis of first generation Iranian immigrant women in Sweden. Certainly, highlighting the hybrid experiences of Swedish Iranians, Farahani explores the tensions that develop between the process of (self)disciplining women’s bodies and the coping tactics that women employ. Subsequently, Gender, Sexuality, and Diaspora demonstrates how migratory experiences impact sexuality and, conversely, how sexuality is constitutive of migratory processes.A timely book rich with empirical and theoretical insights on the subject of gender, diaspora and sexuality, it will appeal to scholars and undergraduate and postgraduate students of gender studies, anthropology, sociology, sexuality studies, diaspora, postcolonial and Middle Eastern studies.

This thesis is a timely contribution to ethnological analysis of sexuality among Iranian women. Considering sexuality as gendered and socioculturally constructed, Fataneh Farahani examines the impact of Iranian Islamic discourses and contemporary socialization, as well as diasporic experiences, on women's narrations of sexuality. With sexuality as the main subject of analysis, the writer focuses on issues involving gender, otherness, agency, and marginality. Being alert to different (sometimes contradictory) discourses, Fataneh Farahani studies the tension that develops between the process of (self)disciplining women's bodies and the coping tactics that women employ. The writer shows how moral values regarding appropriate sexual behavior undergo various and sometimes contradictory transformations. The interviewees report being torn between two 'seemingly' different cultures, each constructed discourses filled with stereotypes of socalled natives and outsiders. The writer shows that, in their everyday lives amidst a variety of racist and sexist stereotypes, women are not really 'torn between two cultures.' Rather, they live a hybrid experience of 'Swedishness' and 'Iranianess' along with other characteristics. At issue is a complexity within the culture(s) in which they live. Fataneh Farahani is an ethnologist and teaches at the Department of Ethnology, History of Religion & Gender Studies at Stockholm University and School of Gender, Culture & History at Sodertorns University Collage.
