Abstract
During a recent conversation about this book, an old friend asked what my ethnicity meant to me. The question surprised me, since we’ve known each other for almost twenty years. I began by saying that ethnicity could be many things – mask, weapon, consolation, sentimentality, gesture, even a kind of inner voyage. On a roll, I gave examples of these, some historical, others anecdotal. But I didn’t speak of myself.
