This book combines the presentation of a wide range of immigrants’ narratives with a psychoanalytically oriented analysis of their meanings. This book is based on original research material collected via in-depth interviews with Israelis who have experienced migration. Demonstrating the variety and richness of individual expressions in migration, it holds narratives of immigration in adolescence and in adulthood and immigration stories of mothers and spouses. Various countries of origin - from Tunisia to Siberia – are represented as well as different periods of immigration, from 1949 through 2000. The author’s personal immigration story is also presented in the book.
