Fracturing Memory, Crossing Borders: Transnational Memoir Writers Discuss Hybrid Necessities

We will discuss how these hybrid strategies succeed or fail when trying to reconstruct family histories or address personal trauma, and how this can be especially challenging when moving between nations and identities.
