This book offers critical analysis of everyday narratives of Iranian middle class migrants who
use their social class and careers to fit in with British society. Based on a series of
interviews and participant observations with two cohorts of privileged Iranian migrant women
working as doctors dentists and academics in Britain¿groups that are usually absent from
studies around migration marginality and intersectionality¿the book applies narrative analysis
and intersectionality to critically analyse social class in relation to gender ethnicity
places and sense of belonging in Britain. As concepts such as Nation Migrant Native Other
Security and Border have populated public and policy discourse it is vital to explore
migrants¿ experiences and perceptions of the society in which they live to answer deceptively
simple questions such as ¿What does class mean? and How is class translated in the lives of
migrants?
