Searching for Home: Henry Roth's Spanish American Turn.
- Authors
MEADVIN, JOANNA
- Abstract
The article focuses on life and work of author Henry Roth. It states he emigrated from Galicia around 1908 as a young child, his personal diaspora began with his family's relocation from the Jewish Lower East Side to Harlem in 1914, and mentions that Roth had encouraged American Jews to orient themselves to ceasing to be Jews. It notes that he was less interested in writing a historically nuanced portrait of 16th-century Marranism than exploring it as a metaphor for 20th-century.
