Ahmed, Leila. A Border Passage: From Cairo to America--a Woman's Journey. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2012. Print.My cultural and visual sources contain a mix of images and primary sources
This cultural source that we read in class has been astounding in the information I've been able to glean from it. This novel has been wonderful in explaining one woman's reasons for moving from her home and how politics and art affected her decisions throughout her life. It has been an amazing source for a modern expatriate who left home for a variety of reasons throughout her life, which will be important in my comparisons of Paris Expatriates and Modern Expatriates.
Hemingway, Ernest. A Moveable Feast. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1964. Print.
As part of my Cultural Sources, this book from the PCL will be the main literature for the first set of expatriates--Hemingway and Fitzgerald most notably. The book centers around Hemingway's time in Paris as an artistic expatriate and there are entire chapters dedicated to Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and other writers forming a sort of coalition in Paris. As this is a primary source for what Hemingway and the rest went through, it's incredibly useful for mapping out where they were, why they moved there, and what they did once they were there.
Museny1. "Hemingway's Paris - Chronicles of Old Paris." YouTube. YouTube, 2011. Web. 05 Apr. 2016.
This Youtube video was a fantastic beginning point for images of the Paris Expatriates, especially Hemingway. It walked through Paris and showed before and after pictures of places he'd visited with citations of what they were to him and how they appeared in his works.
Ṭaḥāwī, Mīrāl, and Samah Selim. Brooklyn Heights. Cairo: American U in Cairo, 2010. Print.
This cultural source that we read in class is the beginning of the modern expatriate map in my project. This narrative follows a very detailed, real map traversing continents with very real plot points. The novel also gives much reasoning and detail behind Hend's leaving for America, which is helpful for the comparison of reasons that I plan on looking at between the two groups of expatriates.
My background sources are a variety of books that have greatly informed me thus far.
Colligan, Colette. A Publisher's Paradise: Expatriate Literary Culture in Paris, 1890/1960. Amherst: U of Massachusetts, 2014. Print.
This wide ranging background source from the PCL has been imperative in understanding the historical context of American expatriates to Paris as well as the contemporary repercussions of the movement. Unlike the rest of my sources, this book is definitely historical in bent. It deals with three key issues--aptly labled Politics, Publishing, Pornography--that the rest of my background sources just didn't cover in detail. For the comparison of circumstance from the Paris Expatriates to the expatriates of now, this novel has been essential.
Martin, Stoddard. The Great Expatriate Writers. New York: St. Martin's, 1992. Print.
This background source book from the PCL worked in a very similar fashion as Pizer's work for my project. While Pizer's book focused on analyzing the literature, however, this book looked at the author's and their backgrounds. There was also a wide range of authors from varying times from Byron to Stendhal to Pound. It was really helpful in looking at different expatriate writers and their motivations throughout the years and areas.
Pizer, Donald. American Expatriate Writing and the Paris Moment: Modernism and Place. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State UP, 1996. Print.
This incredibly concise background source from the PCL has helped me analyze a lot of literature to come out of the first wave of American expatriates to Paris. The book analyzed seven different pieces of writing from the time and contextualized it. It also provided ten really intriguing images of the stories or authors mentioned, several of which I will be using in my project in various capacities.
Prigozy, Ruth. The Cambridge Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2002. Print.
This background source PCL book was very helpful in understanding Fitzgerald during his expatriate years as there was and entire chapter on such. The chapter brilliantly combined textual analysis and historical contextualization for Fitzgerald's time abroad.
