The Education of Eva Hoffman.

Proefriedt, William

Journal of Ethnic Studies, v18 n4 p123-34 Win 1991

Reviews the autobiography of Eva Hoffman, "Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language" (Dutton, 1989). Hoffman, whose family left Poland in the 1950s, offers a consciously bicultural view of the immigrant experience, in contrast to many autobiographies of those who forsake the old world for the new.
