Abstract

They call us immigrants or refugees, but like Brecht, I think that's a misnomer. We're in transit. And sometimes nowhere. The difficulty lies not in trying to forget the past or to live as if we were at home. What the exile must aim for is the development of a sense of personal and collective responsibility for the upheavals caused by expatriation. Even if the wait among walls and shadows may seem endless, the exile must not be afraid. On the contrary, they must go on to reclaim their very being, their very identity.
