The Scroll and the Cross by Ilan Stavans

The Scroll and the Cross by Ilan Stavans

Jews and Latinos have been unlikely partners through tumultuous times. This groundbreaking, eclectic book of readings, edited by Ilan Stavans, whom The Washington Post described as "one of our foremost cultural critics," offers a sideboard of the ups and downs of that partnership. It includes some seventy canonical authors, Jews and non-Jews alike, through whose diverse oeuvre-poetry, fiction, theater, personal and philosophical essays, correspondence, historical documents, and even kitchen recipes-the reader is able to navigate the shifting waters of history, from Spain in the tenth century to the Spanish-speaking Americas and the United States today. The Reader showcases the writings of such notable authors as Solomon ibn Gabirol, Maimonides, Miguel de Cervantes, Henry W. Longfellow, Miguel de Unamuno, Federico García Lorca, Jorge Luis Borges, Jacobo Timerman, Mario Vargas Llosa, Ruth Behar, and Ariel Dorfman to name only a few.

Ilan Stavans is the author of numerous books including OnBorrowed Words, and The Hispanic Condition, as well as editor of The Oxford Book of Jewish Stories, and TheEssential Ilan Stavans. He has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Latino Literature Prize, among other honors. Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College, MA.
