AzarNafisi • Reading Lolita in Tehran • Is different from Morrison and Maya • But carries the theme of discrimination against women on political as well as social level. • There is no issue of slavery of racialism or the Black people’s oppression. • Purdha and University Education the main issues. • Instead of the deprivations of black, the novel portrays the deprivation of education and knowledge about the western literature.
