Focusing on Iranian migration, the book explores the nuanced history of Iranian foreign students who opposed US imperialism in the 1960s and 1970s, challenging the notion that such migration began solely after 1979. Through archival research and interviews, Moradian examines "revolutionary affects" stemming from repression and resistance, highlighting the solidarity among students in various antiracist and anticolonial movements. The analysis also delves into gender dynamics within Third World feminism, advocating for a transnational feminist perspective on the Iranian Student Association's impact and current diasporic politics.
