Customer Reviews of Irangeles: Iranians in Los Angeles
A Little Dated But Still Worth A Gander I think by now the book is a bit dated (most of the profiles in the book were done in the late 80s or early 90s it seems), but the overall description of the varied Iranian-American experience in LA is still fairly accurate. As a previous review mentioned, one should not assume that the description of Iranian-Americans in LA is representative of Iranian-Americans elsewhere in the U.S.
The pictures are accurate
I totally disagree with the authors of the last two reviews. I am an Iranian. I have visited LA and I have witnessed the tackiness that our people display in LA. I am not an anti-westerner but it is so unfortunate that we come to this country and some of us succumb to the plastic and the artificial side of the Western culture. I believe the book does accurately represent the Iranian people in LA. However, the book is not a representation of Iranians outside LA. Most Iranians living outside LA are pretty down to earth folks.
Buy the book and see how not to lose yourself completely to the tacky elements of the western culture.

Tacky
This not an accurate portrayal of the average Iranian-American or Iranian culture. Those people portrayed in the book were wholly unlike any Iranian I know, from LA or other parts of the United States. It is clear that the photographers were attempting to be provocative. As a result, I felt that they had an agenda which biased their results.
