Schiff Agur - Professor Schiff's Guilt - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: An Israeli professor travels to an imaginary West African nation to trace a slave - trading ancestor only to be imprisoned under a new law barring successive generations from profiting off the proceeds of slavery. But before departing from Tel Aviv the protagonist falls in love with Lucile a mysterious African migrant worker who cleans his house. Entertaining and thought - provoking this satire of contemporary attitudes toward racism and the legacy of colonialism examines economic inequality and the global refugee crisis as well as the memory of transatlantic chattel slavery and the Holocaust. Is the professor's passion for Africa merely a fashionable pose and the book he's secretly writing about his experience there nothing but a modern version of the slave trade?
