SUMMARY:JCC Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join the JCC for their 2021 Book Festival. \nSpeaker: Ruth Behar\nModerator: Jennie Lieberman\nLetters from Cuba\nFICTION \nToward the end of 1937\, eleven-year-old Esther writes to her father in Cuba\, beg­ging him to allow her to leave Poland and join him in his new home. Like many oth­er Euro­pean Jews in the years lead­ing up to World War II\, he has sought refuge abroad and is plan­ning to send for his fam­i­ly when he has estab­lished a busi­ness and can afford to pay for their pas­sage. He agrees to Esther’s request\, hop­ing that she will be able to assist him in his work. Ruth Behar’s mov­ing nov­el for young read­ers invokes many famil­iar and res­o­nant themes: the inse­cu­ri­ty of new immi­grants\, the ter­rors of anti­semitism\, fam­i­ly rela­tion­ships strained by wrench­ing changes. There are also unique dimen­sions to this book\, based part­ly on the author’s fam­i­ly his­to­ry. Behar’s lyri­cal descrip­tions of Cuba\, and her per­spec­tive as a pro­fes­sion­al cul­tur­al anthro­pol­o­gist\, form a rich back­ground to Esther’s story. \nRuth Behar was born in Havana\, Cuba to a mixed Ashke­nazi-Sephardic fam­i­ly. She grew up in New York\, and became the first Lati­na to win a MacArthur Genius Grant. A cul­tur­al anthro­pol­o­gist\, poet\, and fic­tion writer\, she explores Jew­ish iden­ti­ty in Lati­no and Cuban con­texts in her award-win­ning mid­dle-grade nov­els\, Lucky Bro­ken Girl and Let­ters from Cuba. A grad­u­ate of Wes­leyan and Prince­ton\, Behar is the Vic­tor Haim Per­era Col­le­giate Pro­fes­sor at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Michi­gan\, Ann Arbor.
