• W2982856670 abstract "An Autobiography of Her Own—Matalon's The Sound of Our Steps Tammy Frade Galon and Adia Mendelson Maoz In her essay Writing Autobiography, hooks, an African-American author, feminist, and social activist, describes her struggle to write her autobiography. hooks prevented her childhood memories from fading into oblivion through a writing process that is not always linear or realistic. Through writing about the past, memories are reinvented, and reflect the narrator's consciousness and state of mind at a given moment in the past but with a contemporary awareness of their social and cultural impact. She writes: The longing to tell one's story and the process of telling is symbolically a gesture of longing to recover the past in such a way that one experiences both a sense of reunion and a sense of release. It was the longing for release that compelled the writing but concurrently it was the joy of reunion that enabled me to see that the act of writing one's autobiography is a way to find again that aspect of self and experience that may no longer be an actual part of one's life but is a living memory shaping and informing the present. Autobiographical writing was a way for me to evoke the particular experience of growing up southern and black in segregated communities. (hooks, Writing Autobiography 430) hooks creates a discursive link between her autobiographical writing and a critical politics of race and gender activism. She defines the marginal space of her childhood as the point of departure for her writing. In her essay Choosing the Margin as a Space of Radical Openness she makes an argument for the politics of location, and states that as a radical standpoint, perspective, position […] necessarily calls those of us who would participate in the formation of counter-hegemonic cultural practice to identify the spaces where we begin the process of re-vision (Yearning 145). According to hooks, memories are not only documentary but constructed to give a 'new take' on the old, constructed to move us into a different mode of articulation (147). hooks' autobiographical writing is a mixture of memories, creation and dissembling. She treats the autobiographical genre in an unconventional manner similar to the way she, as a black woman, challenges traditional perspectives. She blurs the [End Page 228] dichotomies between literature and history and emphasizes the process of telling in the sense of coming to voice and talking back. In her 1988 autobiographical essay Emda klapey ha-biographia (2001; An Attitude towards Biography, re published in Kro u-khetov), Ronit Matalon, who was born in 1959 in Israel to Egyptian parents, describes her family and the trauma of immigration and the oppression they experienced in the development town of Ganei Tikva. As in hooks, Matalon combines her dialogue with autobiographical material to express her social and gender criticism. In her essay Hirhurim me'uharim al Jacqueline Kahanoff (Late Reflections on Jacqueline Kahanoff, in Kro u-khetov 2001), she associates her struggle with the feminist struggle of an African-American woman who works as a nanny for rich white children in New York, and again goes back and forth between personal narrative and her social and cultural arguments. These orientations in her writing and her references to the marginal place of women and in particular African-Americans are the hallmarks of Matalon's work and emerge more strongly in her 2008 novel. Matalon was a major Mizrahi author. Her writing describes the oppression and discrimination that she and her parents' generation of Mizrahis experienced following the mass emigration of Jews in the 1950's from Middle Eastern countries and their integration process which was tainted by the patronizing attitude—if not pure racism—of the authorities. Matalon elaborates on a specific episode that took place at her school when she was fifteen, to demonstrate the state of exclusion and segregation: At the age of fifteen I began to study at the integrative school in Yehud, which was considered an open, liberal school. We were five from Ganei Tikva. The rest came from Savyon, Yehud, and the nearby Or Yehuda. There was a placement of students in different classes by levels. Those..." @default.
