Motherland a novella Senior Project submitted to The Division of Languages and Literature of Bard College by Melanie Mignucci Annandale-on-Hudson, New York May 2016 Acknowledgments Thanks to all the wonderful faculty who believed in this project and made it possible: Ben Hale, Mary Caponegro & Nicole Caso. My incredible advisor Melanie Nicholson, without whose meticulous edits and caring spirit I would not have been physically able to create this work. My wonderful housemates who picked up early drafts off the coffee table. Many, many thanks to Papa Yiyo, Andrés, Arnaldo & Antonio for lending me the archives, genealogical records and family stories that inspired this work (and for picking up the phone when I needed a question answered).
