From the jacket flap
As a child of five, Ruth Behar left Cuba for the U.S. with her Jewish family. She wondered about the Jews who stayed behind: their identity, their material history, and their caretakers of a unique Jewish legacy. An Island Called Home is the story of Behar's journey back to find answers to her questions. Behar uncovers a side of Cuban Jews that is both poignant and personal. Her moving vignettes of the individuals she meets are coupled with the sensitive photographs of Havana-based photographer Humberto Mayol, who traveled with her.
