Carson McCullers

This quote נוסף על ידי johnny5
It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the roller-coaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.

Homesickness, I think, is a universal aspect of humans far from home, from the long experienced things and ways of home. One of my anthropology professors noted how expat communities tend to over-express styles, speech and signs of their home community almost in a caricature form. Ex-Texans in LA and NY wear fancy cowboy boots and big cowboy hats and speak in pronounced drawls, when in Texas all that is much less common at the time. So too communities of Chinese in India, or Hindus in Trinadad. These are forms of homesickness.
