The Peddler's Grandson: Growing Up Jewish in Mississippi Paperback - 2002
by Edward Cohen
As a young child in Mississippi, Edward Cohen thought everyone was Jewish until he began school during the explosive civil rights era. Painfully funny, "The Peddler's Grandson" shows so much of what is different between people, and yet, in the end, reveals what makes us all the same.
From the jacket flap
Edward Cohen was among the tiny minority of Jews in Jackson, Mississippi, the heart of the Bible Belt. As a child, he grew up singing "Dixie"in his segregated school and saying "sh'ma in synagogue. And in his powerful, luminous memoir, Cohen tells a story as universal as it is particular, at once a deeply personal account of growing up an outsider and a vibrant family story of three generations of American Jews.
To Edward Cohen, it seemed the entire world was Jewish. Then he went to school, where he was the only child who didn't bow his head during Christian prayers, the only child not invited to dance class.
As the polite '50s segued into the racially explosive '60s, Jackson, Mississippi, would never be the same. And Edward would escape to the University of Miami in search of a new identity.
There, he thought he would find other Jews and finally gain the acceptance he never had. But once again he found himself an outsider -- this time as a southerner.
A stirring memoir for anyone who's ever felt a loss of identity or pressure to conform, The Peddler's Grandson is sure to touch readers everywhere who have grappled with who they are.
