Cartographies: Meditations on Travel,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
On the impulse behind Cartographies, Marjorie Agosin writes, "I have always wanted to understand the meaning of displacement and the quest or longing for home." In these lyrical meditations in prose and poetry, Agosin evokes the many places on four continents she has visited or called home. Recording personal and spiritual voyages, the author opens herself to follow the ambiguous, secret map of her memory, which "does not betray."Agosin's journey begins in Chile, where she spent her childhood before her family left in the early days of the Pinochet dictatorship. Of Santiago Agosin writes, "Day and night I think about my city. I dream the dream of all exiles." Agosin also travels to Prague and Vienna, ancestral homes of her grandparents, and to Valparaiso in Chile, which received them as immigrants. Kneeling among the yellow mounds at the Terezin concentration camp, where twentytwo of her relatives died, Agosin places "small stones, shrubs, the stuff of life on graves I did not recognize."And then on through the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Americas . . . Everywhere, she is drawn to women in whose devotion and creativity she sees a deep vein of hopefrom Julia, keeper of the synagogue at Rhodes, to the women potters in the Chilean town of Pomaire.Agosin writes of diaspora, exile, and oppression, yet only to highlight the dignity and valor of those who find refuge in their humanity and their art, in community and tradition. Cartographies shows us what can be found when we journey with openness, as approachable to strangers as we are to ourselves. "
