Abstract
Second-generation family memoirs often recount physical pilgrimages to distant homelands. While such journeys suggest a naive privileging of an essentialized, ideal origin, I argue that these visits also have the power to problematize origins by exposing the gaps between place and narrative. These journeys illuminate the dual forces of postmemory and what I term ‘genealogical nostalgia’, the longing for the times and places of one’s ancestral past. These ‘returns’ therefore can play a key role in the construction of second-generation identity. Drawing on Caterina Edwards’s 2008 memoir Finding Rosa, I show how journeys to the ‘homeland’ highlight the particularity of second-generation experience as a generation making connections between multiple forms of memory and multiple sites of belonging.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
