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 the play Farhad and Shirin, the Azerbaijani poet and writer Samad Vurgun has recounted the poem of Khosrow and Shirin in a way contrary to Nizami Ganjavi's intentions. In his work, he tried to create a self and the other divide. Iranians are portrayed as a threatening enemy of the lands beyond Aras and an intractable enmity between the two sides is 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, which is carried out in a descriptive-analytical way, tries to answer the question, how did Vurgun describe the self and the other and what methods did he employ to determine and embody the cultural identity of the Caucasus? The author of this play described Iranians as people with negative aspects such as raping, kidnapping, killing parents, lying, etc. and instead, attributed all the positive qualities to the people of Barda District. On the other hand, the introduction of Shirin and Farhad as lovers from Azerbaijan and the creation of a character named Azarbaba have been part of the strategies to promote the new identity of the Caucasus.
