Abstract

This paper outlines my concept of “genealogical nostalgia,” the post-immigrant generation’s ambivalent longing for the places and stories of their parents’ birth. In her memoir The Orange Trees of Baghdad , second-generation Canadian Leilah Nadir navigates genealogical nostalgia and postmemory, articulating the unique condition of the post-immigrant generation in our globalized world.
