Abstract
Immigration Persian literature is an important part of Iran's contemporary literature that uses the Narrative genre to express issues and concerns of the immigrants in the host country. This research by using a hybrid approach of Narratology and postcolonial studies attempts to analyze the genre of Immigration Persian novel and endeavors to answer the question whether Immigration Persian literature is a kind of postcolonial Narratology. The research concludes that Immigration Persian literature is postcolonial narrative in kind and is written for defending the minority and the marginalized immigrants in the host country and giving them power and ability to speak. It is written by the postcolonial immigrant author using strong words and form of narrative in the so-called third space. The major concern of the immigrant writer in embracing such a genre is bringing the marginalized immigrant to center and presenting their desires, interests, and especially their narrative.

Abstract
In his play, Farhad and Shirin, the Azerbaijani poet and writer, Samad Vurgun recounted the poem of Khosrow and Shirin contrary to Nizami Ganjavi’s intentions and tried to create a “Self vs. The Other” divide. Iranians were portrayed as a threatening enemy of the lands beyond Aras and an intractable enmity between the two sides was imagined. In agreement with the communist politicians, Vurgun sought to prepare an independent identity for the newly established Republic of Azerbaijan in a way that did not overlap with Iranian and Ottoman cultural commonalities. The current research, based on a descriptive-analytical method, tries to answer the question of how Vurgun described the self and the other and what strategies he employed to determine and embody the cultural identity of the Caucasus. The author of the play portrayed the Iranians as people with negative characteristics such as raping, kidnapping, parent-killing, lying, etc. and instead, attributed all the positive qualities to the people of Barda District. On the other hand, introducing Shirin and Farhad as lovers from Azerbaijan and creating a character named Azarbaba were part of Vurgun’s strategies to promote the new identity of the Caucasus.
