An American in the Making: The Life Story of an Immigrant: Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the Americas
Editat de Steven G. Kellman Autor M. E. Ravageen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mai 2009
At
the
turn
of
the
twentieth
century,
M.
E.
Ravage
set
off
in
steerage
for
America,
one
of
almost
two
million
Jews
who,
like
millions
of
others
from
eastern
and
southern
Europe,
were
lured
by
tales
of
worldly
success.
Seventeen
years
after
arriving
on
Ellis
Island,
Ravage
had
mastered
a
new
language,
found
success
in
college,
and
engagingly
penned
in
English
this
vivid
account
of
the
ordeals
and
pleasures
of
departure
and
assimilation.
Steven
G.
Kellman
brings
Ravage's
story
to
life
again
in
this
new
edition,
providing
a
brief
biography
and
introduction
that
place
the
memoir
within
historical
and
literary
contexts.An
American
in
the
Makingcontributes
to
a
broader
understanding
of
the
global
notion
of
"America"
and
remains
timely,
especially
in
an
era
when
massive
immigration,
now
from
Latin
America
and
Asia,
challenges
ideas
of
national
identity.
