Abstract
The acceleration of the pace of international migration during the second half of the 20th century, the upsurge in the number of migrants in various countries and the emergence of the phenomenon of Diaspora and its political, social consequences, particularly from the viewpoint of attraction or interaction between ethic and cultural minorities in the dominant culture or nationality, have been the new subjects of sociological studies. The two- to three-million population of Iranian migrants in various parts of the world, particularly in Europe and the United States, will face the positive and negative aspects of migration. The present article is an attempt to study the cultural, social and identity characteristics of the Iranian migrants and also tries to analyze the cultural and identity interaction between the Iranian migrants residing in Germany with the host nationals.
