4.0 out of 5 stars A Book on Experiences of the Marginalized, "Other.", January 22, 2003
This review is from: King David's Harp: Autobiographical Essays by Jewish Latin American Writers (Jewish Latin America series) (Hardcover)
This collection of essays is an important work for all minorities who want to introspectively examine their own place in a multicultural society. While the focus is on the Latin American experience, the authors address themes of displacement, longing, belonging, marginalization, prejudice, immigrant- inter-generational conflicts, and change. It also provides insight, and hopefully empathy, on these same topics for those of the established majority culture. The book also raises the questions about the goals of a multi-cultural society, and if assimilation is a worthy goal in the view of the majority and the, "other."
