Black White and Jewish by Rebecca Walker

Black White and Jewish by Rebecca Walker

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 symbolmdash;and offers a new look at the challenge of personal identity, in a story at once strikingly unique and truly universal.

Rebecca Walker was named one of Time magazine's 50 future leaders of America, making her one of the generation's most significant leaders. With books, seminars, blogs, social media, popular magazines, literary and academic journals, radio programs, film and television appearances, and content production, she has made a significant contribution to the global discourse about identity, power, culture, and the evolution of the human family. In 1992, she received her bachelor's degree with honors from Yale. Walker's work has appeared in publications such as Glamour, the Washington Post, Bookforum, BOMB, Newsweek, Vibe, Real Simple, Modern Bride, Essence, and Interview, among others. She's been featured on Charlie Rose, Good Morning America, Oprah, Fresh Air, BET, and hundreds of other blogs, sites, and media outlets. She currently resides in Los Angeles.
