Beltsiou brings together a diverse group of contributors,
including Ghislaine Boulanger, Eva Hoffman and Dori Laub, to
discuss their own identity as immigrants and how it informs their
work. They explore the complexity and the contradictions of the
immigration process - the tension between loss and hope, future
and past, the idealization and denigration of the other/stranger,
and what it takes to tolerate the existential dialectic between
separateness and belonging.
