Salamon, Hagar
- Abstract
The article examines the moral underpinnings of the stories that circulate among Ethiopian immigrants in Israel. This is explored in two clusters of stories centered on the lost home and the lost self framed in humorous forms but otherwise uncover sentiments of loss not expressed in direct discourse. These stories of Ethiopian Israelis are said to serve as a vehicle for processing the experience of dislocation and loss of identity, touching upon the vulnerable cores of its traumatic implications and attenuated through the relaxed mode of humor.
