5.0 out of 5 stars
insightful exploration of identity,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yesterday's Self: Nostalgia and the Construction of Personal Identity (Paperback)
because of its philosophical nature, this book can be steep reading at times, but it is well worth it, especially if you are a refugee, immigrant, exile or displaced person who has had an issue with adaptation and nostalgia (homesickness) coupled with a need to understand. (or if you are someone who is working with people who fall into one of these populations.)the author draws from philosophers, memoirists and novelists to make her points, draw her distinctions, and constellate the phenomenon of identity in the midst of change. in a way, this book has something to uncover for everyone, because who among us has not felt changed by the experiences, especially the traumas, of our lives? i found this to be an informative, intriguing exploration of identity from which I gained a great deal of insight. |
