Finding One’s Way – M. E. Ravage and his “American in the Making”

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the 20th century, Marcus Eli Revici, a young Jew from north-eastern Romania, was forced to leave his country and head for America in the quest for a new life. Dreaming of becoming a writer, years later he published his story in a book which made him a fairly well-known autobiographer and was widely used in the New York schools in a period in which, because of the growing interest in immigration and assimilation, the immigrant memoirs were part of mainstream literature. Our paper focuses on the way the young migrant perceives the migration process and how he adapts to his new homeland, an adjustment all migrants have to go through.
