today junot diaz came to dartmouth, which was amazing
he talked a lot about the pain of migration (right in the feels folks)
afterwards, a discussion with my friend got me thinking: we often have second generation hyphenated American immigrants (i.e. the children of the original migrants) shape the narratives of migration
but what about the actual narrative of moving? of having a home, and then making a new one? i don't know anyone recognized who writes/speaks/blogs/makes films about this. part of this might be that it just doesn't sink in/isn't understood that early. or even if it is, it's considered irrelevant. but where is our narrative? the actual transnationality of growing up somewhere and building your adulthood somewhere else?
The single most "American" of stories is the ongoing #immigrant narrative.
