Book Description
After leaving the army September 11, 1970 in Asmara, Ethiopia, I wandered six months in East Africa, Ethiopia, and Israel. I wanted to use the Swahili that the army had taught me. I knew "If I don't do this now while I have a chance, I'll never do it." What a prophet! This book tells that story. Journals I wrote at the time supply the detail for this rendition of the journey that started on Ethiopian New Year's Day, 1963EC. The trip was my coming out. It was the first time I had ever lived and functioned alone. Home, school, and the army had taken care of me before. I was really on my own, at 27. I fared well.

Judaising Movements
Author: Tudor Parfitt
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136860347
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The history of Judaising movements has been largely ignored by historians of religion. This volume analyzes the interplay between colonialism, a Judaism not traditionally viewed as proselytising but which at certain points was struggling to heed the Prophets and become a light unto the Gentiles' and the attraction for many different peoples of the rooted historicity of Judaism and by the symbolic appropriation of Jewish suffering. This book will look at the role of colonialism in the development of Judaising movements throughout the world, including New Zealand, Japan, India, Burma and Africa. Particular attention will be paid to the Lemba tribe of Southern Africa. A remarkable parallel movement in 1930s Southern Italy will also be dealt with. The history of the converts of San Nicandro is seen in the context of currents of Jewish universalism, messianism and Zionism. Gender issues are also discussed here as the converted women assumed powers they had not hitherto enjoyed.
