• W1487135302 abstract "Sarah Phillips Casteel. Second ArrivaU: Landscape and Behnging in Contemporary Writing of Americas. Charlottesville: U of Virginia P, 2007. ? + 256 pp. $59.00/$22.50.In Philip Roth's American Pastoral (1997), when Seymour Swede Levov moves from Weequahic section of Newark to Old Rimrock (a town as close to countryside as is possible in Northern New Jersey), he is met immediately with resolute resistance from his father: come from city [...] You know what? You're dreaming. I wonder if you even know where this is. Let's be candid with each other about this - this is a narrow, bigoted area (309). In mind of Swede's father, city is privileged as place of Jewish American belonging, identity, and, not to be glossed over, cultural tolerance. Therefore, city and countryside can only exist in binary opposition. Here, Swede's drive to assimilate is thrown in direct opposition to his Jewish identity. There is a void here: that of Jewish American tradition of city in conflict with American tradition of a desire for space.Similarly, in Second Arrivals, Sarah Philips Casteel finds a void in field of diaspora studies: two poles of contemporary diasporic discourse - movement and sedentarism, or global and local - find their special counterparts in customary opposition between city and (4). Further, much like sentiment of Swede's father, Casteel argues that [t]he city has been widely perceived as space of diversity and movement, while country is negatively associated with homogeneity and containment [...] repressive nationalisms and fascist movements, as well as racisms such as that of U.S. rural South (4). Such city-centric bias, she claims, have permeated studies of diaspora, so that the city becomes focus of intense scrutiny, while landscape depictions of nature seldom figure into such discussions (4).Accordingly, Second Arrivals is designed not to fill diat void, but to open up conversation about diasporic ideas (e.g., ideas of belonging, displacement, emplacement, and space) with regard to writing and visual art concerning landscape and pastoral, and perhaps to introduce a sub-field of diaspora studies - pastoral and landscape diasporism. In doing so, Casteel examines everything from contemporary Jewish American writer's idea of displacement when thrust into pastoral (with special attention paid to Philip Roth's American Pastoral and The Counterlife [1987], and Bernard Malamud's A New Life [1961]) to diasporic tensions evident in landscape photography of Jin-me Yoon. Thus, Second Arrivals might be viewed as an attempt to reconcile accepted norms of pastoral and diasporic art - two concepts she sees in binary opposition in current critical conversation.Despite critical bias towards city, Jewish American writers have not shied away from pastoral while dealing with diasporic narratives of identity and belonging. Rather, Casteel argues, pastoral mode has considerable appeal for diasporic writers in Americas because of its unique capacity to register simultaneously attachment to place and anguish of dispossession (109). In chapter two, Myth of West in Bernard Malamud and Philip Roth, Casteel focuses largely on understudied second arrival of immigrant groups, specifically Jewish American protagonists moving from city (the first arrival) to country, where a new settlement occurs, and pastoral myth of American West is examined.Casteel's main claim in this chapter deals with a drive toward assimilation, both for Jewish American protagonists and authors themselves: This attraction to pastoral works on two levels: on one hand it bespeaks a desire to gain access to 'true' America, which is envisioned as pastoral in keeping with leading national myths, and on other it signals Jewish American author's ambition to claim a space in U. …" @default.
