Notă biografică
Ruth Behar was born in Havana, Cuba. She and her family moved to New York City when she was five. In the years since, she has become an internationally acclaimed writer and the Victor Haim Perera Collegiate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. She is the author of many books, including "An Island Called Home: Returning to Jewish Cuba"; "The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart"; and "Translated Woman: Crossing the Border with Esperanza's Story," a "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year. In addition to her work as an anthropologist, Behar is a poet, a fiction writer, and a documentary filmmaker. She wrote, directed, and produced "Adio Kerida (Goodbye Dear Love)," a film that has been shown at film festivals around the world. Behar has been honored with many prizes, including a MacArthur "Genius" Award.
Recenzii
"'Travelers are those who go elsewhere because they want to . . . Immigrants are those who go elsewhere because they have to.' Ruth Behar's own story is one of being both the reluctant immigrant and the enthusiastic traveler, and finally, perhaps to appease both legacies, 'an anthropologist who specializes in homesickness.' Behar admits Spanish is her mother tongue, and yet she is a master craftsperson in her father tongue, English. As always, her exquisite stories leave me astonished, amused, exhilarated, illuminated, and forever transformed."Sandra Cisneros,author of The House on Mango Street
"Ruth Behar takes us deep into geographies she has charted, transcending anthropological reportage and finding the poetry that is there not only in the places she has mapped but also in history. She has written an observant and surprisingly compassionate book, full of warmth. I enjoyed reading every page; it is full of wisdom and devastating sincerity."Nilo Cruz,author of Anna in the Tropics, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama
"A heartfelt witness to the changing political and emotional landscape of the Cuban-American experience." - Kirkus
"Traveling Heavy speaks to issuesthe impact of religion on social identity, the cultural and linguistic discomforts of immigration, the social tensions found in multicultural and multigenerational families, the texture of relations between parents and childrenthat define our humanity. What's more, Ruth Behar skillfully weaves these complex issues into a gripping story of personal challenge and growth. Her artful memoir is filled with grace."Paul Stoller, author of The Power of the Between: An Anthropological Odyssey
"Ruth Behar graces us with her provocative and enchanting memoir of travel and self-discovery: as a mother, as a writer, as an anthropologist, and as a child of exile and homecomings. Traveling Heavy is a memoir of wonder from one of the leading Latina artists of the U.S.A."Marjorie Agosín, author of At the Threshold of Memory: New and Selected Poems
"Ruth Behar's vivid personal vignettes sing of sorrow and joy, disappointment and love. They range from family and fieldwork to travel and returns to her birthplace, Havana, Cuba. They explore her mixedness, Jewish and Latina. She is an ethnographer and a writer. Read and join her moving quest for belonging and home."Renato Rosaldo, Lucie Stern Professor in the Social Sciences, New York University
"All those intrigued by their ancestral story will be moved by the personal quest and also by howwith the help of computers as well as the kindness of strangersthe lost can find their way home."--Hazel Rochman, Booklist Online
A moving story of finding oneself through a lifetime of travel, this will be a terrific addition to memoir and Judaica collections.Olga Wise, Library Journal
