The Civil Rights movement brought author Alice Walker and lawyer Mel Leventhal together, and in 1969 their daughter, Rebecca, was born. Some saw this unusual copper-colored girl as an outrage or an oddity; others viewed her as a symbol of harmony, a triumph of love over hate. But after her parents divorced, leaving her a lonely only child ferrying between two worlds that only seemed to grow further apart, Rebecca was no longer sure what she represented. In this book, Rebecca Leventhal Walker attempts to define herself as a soul instead of a symbol—and offers a new look at the challenge of personal identity, in a story at once strikingly unique and truly universal.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance and host of the hit podcast Family Secrets—”a cool depiction of a mother and daughter's fraught and fiery relationship” (USA Today). Clara Brodeur has spent her entire adult life pulling herself away from her famous mother, the renowned and controversial photographer Ruth Dunne, whose towering reputation rests on the unsettling nude portraits she took of her young daughter. At age eighteen, sick of her notoriety as “the girl in the pictures,” Clara fled New York City, settling and making her own family in small-town Maine. But years later, when Ruth reaches out from her deathbed, Clara suddenly finds herself drawn back to the past she thought she had escaped. From the beloved author of Family History and Slow Motion, a spellbinding novel that asks: How do we forgive those who failed to protect us?

The blurring and crossing of boundaries is a central and repeated theme in Black White and Jewish (2001). The daughter of black feminist author Alice Walker and white Jewish civil rights attorney Mel Leventhal, Rebecca Walker transgresses the racial, ethnic, and religious boundaries upheld by mainstream American socie ty. As a result, Walker does not have a stable, fixed identity. In fact, the que stion of how she configures her mixed-race identity is her very motivation in wr iting Black White and Jewish. In the first chapter of this study, I identify what I consider the main problema tic of Walker?s autobiography. As a result of her mixed-race identity, Walker is ostracized by society?s power of interpellation. Due to being biracial, she is hailed as a tragic mulatta and is doomed to exist at the cusp of dual belonging and dual alienation. Walker feels that she does not make sense, and has no sense of belonging with any community. The second chapter focuses on how Walker attempts to override the system that b rands her as tragic. Her need to make sense and feel a sense of belonging prompt s her to perform different identifications. She hopes that these performances wi ll help her fit in with different groups. However, her performances ultimately f ail. I show that these performances also silence her own voice, leading to dire consequences in her personal life. However, these consequences are a turning poi nt for Walker, as they prompt her to take control of her own life. In the third chapter, I trace the process by which Walker regains her silenced voice through learning how to critically read and write. Through writing, Walker is able vocalize and articulate for the first time. She is thus able to carve o ut a space in which her identity can make sense in all its complexity. It is fro m this in-between space that Walker writes Black White and Jewish and makes sens e for the first time in her life.

A glimpse into the diverse stories of Black Jews in the United States What makes a Jew? This book traces the history of Jews of African descent in America and the counter-narratives they have put forward as they stake their claims to Jewishness. The Soul of Judaism offers the first exploration of the full diversity of Black Jews, including bi-racial Jews of both matrilineal and patrilineal descent; adoptees; black converts to Judaism; and Black Hebrews and Israelites, who trace their Jewish roots to Africa and challenge the dominant western paradigm of Jews as white and of European descent. Blending historical analysis and oral history, Haynes showcases the lives of Black Jews within the Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstruction and Reform movements, as well as the religious approaches that push the boundaries of the common forms of Judaism we know today. He illuminates how in the quest to claim whiteness, American Jews of European descent gained the freedom to express their identity fluidly while African Americans have continued to be seen as a fixed racial group. This book demonstrates that racial ascription has been shaping Jewish selfhood for centuries. Pushing us to reassess the boundaries between race and ethnicity, it offers insight into how Black Jewish individuals strive to assert their dual identities and find acceptance within their respective communities. Putting to rest the simplistic notion that Jews are white and that Black Jews are therefore a contradiction, the volume argues that we can no longer pigeonhole Black Hebrews and Israelites as exotic, militant, and nationalistic sects outside the boundaries of mainstream Jewish thought and community life. The volume spurs us to consider the significance of the growing population of self-identified Black Jews and its implications for the future of American Jewry.
