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 experience of exile and immigration, the legacies of culture, and the enduring power of memory. This book is for Anthropology and Sociology courses in qualitative methods, ethnography, violence, migration, and ethnicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlisse Waterston\u003c\/b\u003e is Presidential Scholar and Professor, Department of Anthropology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, and author or editor of seven books including the graphic novel, \u003ci\u003eLight in Dark Times: The Human Search for Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e (illustrated by Charlotte Corden).
