Memories and Insights: Iran Through the Eyes of Peace Corps Volunteers

 Memories and Insights: Iran Through the Eyes of Peace Corps Volunteers

Edited by: John Krauskopf

Memories and Insights is a legacy project of the Peace Corps Iran Association. This volume brings together thirty-one authors who served in the Peace Corps in Iran during the period from 1962 to 1976. Together their memories, essays, poems and travelogues create a picture of a culture with a long and storied history. How do Peace Corps Volunteers pick up on the classic Persian tradition of poetry? In this volume, returned volunteers will demonstrate. Where is the sky orange at night? What was the significance of an Aerogramme? Multiple uses of a refrigerator? Skiing on barrel staves? Discover the answers within.
