Abstract: 
The article deals with the literary treatment of a female immigrant's arrival in the host land Mexico in Gloria Gervitz's poem Migraciones. This arrival, as a topical moment, has been often described, remembered and imagined in autobiographical texts by Mexican authors of Ashkenazi origin, second- or third- generation immigrants. The article shows how Gervitz, in her repetition and variation of the arrival as a foundational scene, gives special weight to the emotional dimensions of the process.
