"The experience of growing up Jewish in America has produced some of the very best works of fiction and nonfiction ever written. Now, Growing Up Jewish brings together twenty-five accounts by some of our most popular and admired authors as well as newer and lesser-known voices. These twenty-five stories of childhood and adolescence explore issues of Jewish identity, language, generational differences, and family life. But above all, they touch on the universal themes, the rites of passage, and the joys and tensions of coming-of-age."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

NO OF PAGES: 289 SUB CAT I: Jewish Life SUB CAT II: Biography SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Twenty-five Jews relive their childhoods in the old world, the new world, and the promised land. Their experiences, spanning four centuries, present the history of a people in an intensely personal way. Among those represented are a fourteen-year-old Lithuanian father, a mayor of Dublin, and an English poetess. All of them have one thing in common - a strong Jewish identity. Their tradition stretches across time and ignores national boundaries. It is the force that unites these compelling reflections on the pain and joy of growing up Jewish.NOTES: SUBTITLE:
