Traveling Jewish: Touring Lands of Dreams Deferred

by Marc H Ellis

Overview

Since 1987, with the publication of his groundbreaking book, now classic, Toward a Jewish Theology of Liberation, Marc H. Ellis has been touring the world with a prophetic global message of peace and justice, and especially in relation to Israel and Palestine. During these tours, Ellis has kept journals describing his encounters, some of which are deep and decisive, others of which are funny, even absurd. Traveling Jewish is rarely neutral. In a hybrid format-diary, journal, memoir-with stunning photographs, we follow Ellis as he embarks on a tour of the Philippines, and then back home to San Francisco, Houston, Tallahassee and Chicago.

Editorial Reviews

"In this gem of a book, Marc Ellis, the prophet, is disguised as a traveler. Ellis's traveling journals are thoughts to be felt, in the tradition of Walter Benjamin, a part of Ellis's own Arcades Project in sync with his journals over the years. Here you have a sense of what it means to travel with a Jewish thinker: the ways Ellis gazes at people and situations, his responses to events, how he constructs his thoughts and, yet, always holding a laser line straight to the heart of things. Encountering Marc Ellis in one of his traveling stops - one is never the same after meeting him. This book is a gift to all who embark on this journey with one of the most powerful Jewish thinkers of our time."
