This is an anthropologist's vivid account of her father's journey across continents, countries, cultures, languages, generations--and wars. It is a daughter's moving portrait of a charming, funny, wounded and difficult man, his relationships with those he loved, and his most sacred of beliefs. And it is a scholar's reflection on the dramatic forces of history, the legacies of culture, the experience of a Jewish immigrant, and the enduring power of memory. This book is for Sociology and Anthropology courses in qualitative methods, ethnography, violence, migration, and ethnicity"--Provided by publisher.Innovative ethnographies.Jews, PolishUnited StatesBiographyJews, PolishCubaBiographyJewsCubaBiographyJewsUnited StatesBiographyJedwabne (Poland)BiographyJews, PolishJews, PolishJewsJews943.8/3604092SOC002010SOC026000bisacshWaterston Alisse1951-,940543MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825519203321My father's wars4123903UNINA
