Go Laughing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781537414362)

Go Laughing chronicles the inspiring life journey of an anthropologist, Roselle Tekiner. She came of age in a poor family in Chicago during the Great Depression, made her way through college despite major obstacles, entered a cross-cultural marriage, succumbed to the feminine mystique through the fifties and sixties, completed her Ph.D., and became an academic and an activist scholar. Her union in middle age with Rabbi Elmer Berger, a leader in the U.S. anti-Zionist movement, channeled her long-term interest in the Middle East toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and had a profound impact on her later scholarly work. Roselle Tekiner's life course illustrates the ways major historical events produce turning points and unexpected trajectories in human lives. This memoir does more than document a series of interesting and often surprising life events; it is a story of human agency, showing how ideas and perceptions, no matter how incorrect, can provide the impetus to achieve seemingly impossible life goals.
