The only way I have been able to get over my own identity crisis is by understanding this view of yours,
roachboy. And that of nation, for that matter.
My crisis both hit a pinnacle and was somewhat resolved in my university years. Much of this is because I attended a large and highly multicultural campus while studying cultural theory and contemporary literature.
I still have a lot of work to do. I should stop living under my rock, hiding away from the reality of my existence: It has very little to do with the fact that I'm a lower-middle-class Caucasian in what used to be referred to as the New World. I am not a ghost.
The Jewish identity is so far steeped in this idea of race and nation that I fear how I look in contrast.
What am I?
