And as a hurricane churns across the Atlantic, their exploration of how ethnicity, race, and gender are definedparticularly for Americas African and Jewish diasporaswill culminate in revelations about their own ethnic identities. Through the eyes of our three narrators, readers will explore the ideas of ethnicity and multiculturalism in our world, illustrated by humorous and poignant anecdotes woven into a single compelling narrative.
