Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A work of profound intelligence and utter humanity; it is intensely engaging, exquisitely playful, unabashedly erudite without a trace of pretension, and radiant with love for fellow creatures." Andrei Codrescu "A moving, and at times astonishing, memoir ... it sparkles and informs with intelligence and good intentions." Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor:

A central theme of this memoir by poet and translator Willis Barnstone is that of labels - names, ethnicities, all distinctions that cause suspicion, anger, and destruction. A fresh and significant contribution to American letters, "We Jews and Blacks" wrestles with problems of identity, difference, and the human condition. It is a dramatic, whimsical, and literary work that also contains a number of Barnstone's poems, which offer a second view of an event, a crystallization of his thinking, both sorrowful and joyful. The book includes a dialogue with Yusef Komunyakaa and a small selection of his poems.
