Abstract
In this chapter, I hope to explore ( 1) my own engagement with the field of emigre studies, (2) my decision to develop other aspects of my work and ( 3) how the state of the field has been fruitfully transformed since I took that decision. Finally, I hope to offer a few ideas for how we might connect our work in the future while drawing on the foundational labour of two generations of emigre scholars. In doing so, I will not pretend to offer a comprehensive overview-I consider only what has crossed my horizon in the last twenty-five years. By taking this modest route, I hope to make a further small contribution to the field of emigre studies.
