Jewish Writing from Down Under: Australia and New Zealand
Rating  (4)
Date: 2003-04-05
Vibrant writings that define the Jewish character of the "Down Under" communities, their genesis has three distinct periods of when it happened. Some came to Australia as others from English background as convicts. They have a history exceeding 200 years of settlement. Others came from other European countries during several migrations and as many as could just before World War II.
As the editor of this volume says..."The songs of Zion are sung on every coast." This anthology has interesting and very representative voices that express their respective allegiances to both Australia and New Zealand, in well developed albeit not very large communities. The stories are revealing of their Jewishness in such far away countries, but have a commonality that identifies their emotional and cultural devotion. All the contributors are well known in the region and they make a worthy reading.
