My Jewish Face and Other Stories

Fiction. Jewish Studies. Women's Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. MY JEWISH FACE &amp; OTHER STORIES chronicles the coming of age and coming out of a daughter of the Jewish left. Wandering from Brooklyn to Harlem and Berkeley in the sixties, from the intense feminist politics of the seventies to the isolation and regathering of activism in the eighties, Kaye/Kantrowitz's women struggle for lesbian community, for proud Jewish identity and always for justice steeped in compassion. As humanly warm and funny as they are serious, these stories will reach with great hope and energy across generations and across cultures.

Stories chronicling the coming of age and coming out of a daughter of the Jewish left. "I like this book a lot. It's full of history, herstories and plain stories--and in beautiful combination and variety."--Grace Paley

"Here is a book for everyone who dares to want to help make history. Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz is passionate, strategic, pithy, generous, realistic, controversial, unquenchable--a lifelong doer, she gives us reasons to believe in achievable justice, and maps for acting on that belief."--Adrienne Rich

Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Women's Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Political activist and writer Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz brought an insightful eye and a sharp analytical mind to probe the problems facing America at the turn of the century. First published in 1992, the hard-hitting essays in this collection scan the connections across a wide range of issues: whether the topic is class, racism, Israel and Palestine, war, anti-Semitism, violence against women or violence by women, the issue is power--in all its complexity. Now in its second edition and no less relevant nearly three decades later, her work--dedicated, persistent--continues to remind us of the strength in community.
