Immigration: Uprooting, leave taking perhaps forever, new dreams and hopes. We will read autobiographical writings focusing on immigration, choosing from the memoirs of both male and female memoirists such as Mordkhe Alperson (Argentina), Malke Li (America), Falk Zolf (Canada), and Dvoyre Dayan (Israel), ranging from the late-nineteenth to the mid-  twentieth century. Grammar to be studied will be drawn from these writings.
