This thesis explores the alienation and hybrid identity in Firoozeh Dumas' "Me and Bob Hope," part of her 2003 immigrant memoir "Funny in Farsi." This study aims to focus on the immigrant experience of the Iranian-Americans in the 1970s United States. Growing up as a child of immigrants, Dumas encounters cultural alienation, both as an Iranian in a foreign land and as a Muslim in the Western country of America. Through Dumas' intimate portrayal of hybridity, this thesis explores the in-between space of immigrants, presenting the hardships and navigations in the American culture. The Persian New Year, Nowruz, and the holiday of Christmas are revealed as the symbols of the Iranian and the American identity. Dumas eventually reconciliates with her twofold character; her intermarriage and the celebration of both holidays make her culturally adapt to America and embrace her Iranian-American identity.
