It analyzes the neo orientalist discourse voiced by Middle Eastern writers in the diaspora with a special focus on Iranian women{u2019}s memoirs in the diaspora. By so doing, it reveals the affinities between the neo orientalist discourse and the local informants. European orientalism is represented in Edward Said{u2019}s Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism.The features of the American neo orientalism will be derived from multiple sources like official speeches of President George W. Bush, Bernard Lewis{u2019}s books, Samuel Huntington{u2019}s theory of clash of civilizations, articles that deal with the topic and books that tackle the relation between the United States and the Middle East UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
