Summary/Abstract: Writing about identity, temporary migration or exile in the XXI century means to discover various forms of exile, but mainly means that we search for ourselves as individuals. We are here, we belong here, we identify with the place where we were born or contrary, we do not find anywhere and we are in a continuous search to establish own ego. Our approach focuses on the volume “Between Homelands. Testimonies on Identity and exile” (by Mirela Florian and Ioana Popescu, Ed. Polirom, Bucharest, 2006). The volume drew our attention to the multitude of essays (in the form of interviews) contained about migration, emigration, alienation, uprooting or even rather, the impossible uprooting.
