An odd and interesting book written by a mother and daughter that touches on questions of nationalism, ethnicity, religion, identity, and assimilation. The mother is Russian Jewish and Puerto Rican and the daughter grew up mostly in Puerto Rico or in Puerto Rican neighborhoods in NYC.
My mother and I wrote this book between 1983 and 1986, at the instigation of Nancy Bereano, publisher of Firebrand Books, who heard my mother read from both of our works in Ithaca, NY.
