Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

JAY PROSSER HAS WRITTEN A FAMILY MEMOIR THAT, AT ITS CORE, BUILDS A BRIDGE ACROSS THE TERRIBLE DIVIDES OF OUR TIMESJay Prosser has written a family memoir that at its core, builds a bridge across the terrible divides of our times. It’s a Jewish book, but not just a Jewish book. It moves Jewish writing away from its customary setting of the Holocaust and Europe and transports Jewish identity to Iraq, India, China and Singapore: places and cultures that most people (including Jews themselves) don’t associate with Jewish identity. It shows Jews integrating with others, not divisive, not separate: not antagonistic.The issue of intermarriage is increasingly important for all racial groups and this book speaks beyond the Jewish community, in relation to how we treat strangers in the form of immigrants and other communities.
