This graphic memoir depicting the childhood of Marjane Satrapi during the turbulent years surrounding the Iranian Revolution is a powerful look at the overthrow of the Iranian government, the introduction of theocracy, and the ongoing war with Iraq.
Your students will be enthralled as Satrapi, in these simple, yet poignant and revealing, black and white drawings, explores the changing political realities of Iran and the way they’ve affected her. Although there is less text than in a traditional novel, Persepolis lends itself beautifully to studies of theme, characterization, and many other important literary elements. It will make a great addition to your multicultural library.
