Uncertain travelers

"Over a three-year period, award-winning Chilean poet and human rights activist Marjorie Agosin interviewed nine Jewish women immigrants who arrived in the United States from Europe and Latin America between 1939 and the 1970s. Some came as children, others as adults; some were well-off, others refugees. These conversations reveal diverse experiences of exile as well as multiple attitudes toward North American politics, people, and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
