| 505 | 8 | |a This book explores immigrant life writing and examines the complex relationship between the America imagined in the dreams of would-be immigrants and their ability to establish connections to actual places in America. The authors discussed in the book (Vasily Aksyonov, Mary Antin, Eva Hoffman, Edward Limonov, and Miriam Potocky-Tripodi) come to North America from different places in Eastern Europe and publish their books at different times of the 20th century, but for all of them an attachment to the new place begins before emigration. The initial stages of this process are imaginative - learning and dreaming about America, visualizing it as an ideal place - and the immigrants' encounter with their new country is mediated by this idealized image of America. Although some immigrant autobiographers profess an immediate bonding to American places, the texts examined in this book demonstrate that the process of claiming a new place as one's own is often rife with ambiguities and setbacks. Only by negotiating the gap between the dream and the encountered America can an immigrant begin to feel at home in the new place. At the same time, the bond to the home country can never be severed, and that rejected place becomes a reference point for comparisons or even a model for organizing the new environment. Briefly stated, immigrants maintain attachments to multiple places - physical, imagined, and remembered | |

| spelling | In Search of a Dream America Place in the Life Writing of Eastern European Immigrants Mark Stolarik, Matjaz Klemencic, Irina V. Rodimtseva 1st, New ed Bern Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften 2017 1 Online-Ressource (254 Seiten) 14 ill txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Online resource; title from title screen (viewed June 27, 2019) This book explores immigrant life writing and examines the complex relationship between the America imagined in the dreams of would-be immigrants and their ability to establish connections to actual places in America. The authors discussed in the book (Vasily Aksyonov, Mary Antin, Eva Hoffman, Edward Limonov, and Miriam Potocky-Tripodi) come to North America from different places in Eastern Europe and publish their books at different times of the 20th century, but for all of them an attachment to the new place begins before emigration. The initial stages of this process are imaginative - learning and dreaming about America, visualizing it as an ideal place - and the immigrants' encounter with their new country is mediated by this idealized image of America. Although some immigrant autobiographers profess an immediate bonding to American places, the texts examined in this book demonstrate that the process of claiming a new place as one's own is often rife with ambiguities and setbacks. Only by negotiating the gap between the dream and the encountered America can an immigrant begin to feel at home in the new place. At the same time, the bond to the home country can never be severed, and that rejected place becomes a reference point for comparisons or even a model for organizing the new environment. Briefly stated, immigrants maintain attachments to multiple places - physical, imagined, and remembered Aksënov, Vasilij Pavlovič 1932-2009 (DE-588)118644203 gnd rswk-swf Limonov, Ėduard 1943-2020 (DE-588)119156199 gnd rswk-swf Antin, Mary 1881-1949 (DE-588)120589397 gnd rswk-swf Hoffman, Eva 1945- (DE-588)118912755 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1901-2000 gnd rswk-swf Platz Motiv (DE-588)4446829-5 gnd rswk-swf Raum Motiv (DE-588)4225698-7 gnd rswk-swf Osteuropäischer Einwanderer (DE-588)4491383-7 gnd rswk-swf Amerikabild (DE-588)4001671-7 gnd rswk-swf Migrantenliteratur (DE-588)7610482-5 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Osteuropa (DE-588)4075739-0 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Migrantenliteratur (DE-588)7610482-5 s Osteuropäischer Einwanderer (DE-588)4491383-7 s Amerikabild (DE-588)4001671-7 s Raum Motiv (DE-588)4225698-7 s Geschichte 1901-2000 z DE-604 Platz Motiv (DE-588)4446829-5 s Osteuropa (DE-588)4075739-0 g Hoffman, Eva 1945- (DE-588)118912755 p Antin, Mary 1881-1949 (DE-588)120589397 p Limonov, Ėduard 1943-2020 (DE-588)119156199 p Aksënov, Vasilij Pavlovič 1932-2009 (DE-588)118644203 p Stolarik, Mark edt Klemencic, Matjaz edt Rodimtseva, Irina V.
