While these six writers came from different backgrounds, wrote in different languages, and enjoyed very different levels of recognition in their lifetimes and posthumously, they all made sense of their forced displacement in works that reveal their conflicted relationships with the people and places they encountered in transit as well as in Mexico, the country in which they all eventually found asylum. The literary output of these six brilliant, prolific, but also flawed individuals reflects the most salient contradictions of what it meant to escape from fascist occupied Europe. In a study that bridges history, literary studies, and refugee studies, Tabea Alexa Linhard draws connections between colonialism, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II and the Holocaust to shed light on the histories and literatures of exile and migration, drawing connections to today's refugee crisis and asking larger questions around the notions of belonging, longing, and the lived experience of exile"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Beautiful friendships -- The emotional geographies of old and new homes -- Ships of fools: Silvia Mistral -- Transit and chance encounters -- No solid ground: Max Aub -- A Mexican sector in Berlin: Anna Seghers -- Yearning for Mexico: Ruth Rewald -- Magical Zapatistas: Gertrude Duby -- Landscapes of grief: Egon Erwin Kisch -- Afterlives. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Authors, Exiled $z Mexico $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Authors, European $z Mexico $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Exiles' writings, European $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fascism and literature $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Exiles in literature. 650 7 $a Authors, European $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821988 650 7 $a Authors, Exiled $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821997 650 7 $a Exiles in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918151 650 7 $a Exiles' writings, European $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918173 650 7 $a Fascism and literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921577 651 7 $a Mexico $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Linhard, Tabea Alexa, 1972- $t Unexpected routes. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2023 $z 9781503635968 $w (DLC) 2022048967 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010354.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D012278E141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
