Synopses & Reviews
"Invisible Dreamer," a new collection of original essays by celebrated author, editor, critic, and poet Marjorie Agosin explores the intersections between the role of memory, the struggle for human rights, and the changing definition of Jewish identity. How do the ethical perspectives of Judaism shape a commitment to human rights? What does it mean to be a Jew in Latin America?
"Invisible Dreamer" follows closely as a companion volume to the anthology Miriam's Daughters: Jewish Latin Women American Poets (Sherman Asher Publishing, 2001) and offers a much needed view of the 'other America' as Agosn critically considers the impact of Latin America on Jewish identity.
Academically, "Invisible Dreamer" will be utilized in curricula for Women's Studies, Jewish Studies, Latin American Studies, and Multicultural Studies.
