Maraga and Satrapi

I don’t really see their situations as being very congruent. Satrapi had a strong bond with her parents as well as a deep national pride that is evident in most Persians. Like Moraga, Satrapi experienced discrimination however for different reasons. Moraga was a lesbian Mexican in a white predominantly heterosexual world, whereas Satrapi was a non-religious rebellious teen living under a suppressive Muslim regime. Moraga's issues were deeply ingrained in her racial and cultural recognition, however Satrapi had to deal with an ever changing set of issues as she went around the world experiencing different cultures.
