Representing the Immigrant Experience:
Morris Rosenfeld and the Emergence of Yiddish Literature in America by Marc Miller
Winner of the 2008 Canadian Jewish Book Award for Yiddish Literature
Childhood: An Autobiographical Fragment
Winner of the 2008 Helen and Kurt Wolff Prize for Translation.
With his richly detailed recollections of rural life among Jews, Ukrainians, Rumanians, Poles, and Germans in Bucovina, a colorful parade of characters, and a remarkable eloquence, Rosenkranz recaptures a vanished moment of cultural history.
Remember Me to Lebanon: Stories of Lebanese Women in America
Winner of the Arab American National Book Award for Adult Fiction.
With agile humor and emotional truth, Shakir offers multiple perspectives on the experience of Lebanese women in the United States. Her stories dismantle stereotypes and remind us that women of Lebanese background have been a part of the American narrative for over a century.

Four Letters to the Witnesses of My Childhood
Helena Ganor
"A historical account of a tragedy... A David and Goliath story of a young girl’s determination to escape the clutches of a seemingly unbeatable evil force... Clever, unself-conscious and meaningful."
— Jewish Observer
"Working: A Celebration of Syracuse Workers in Words, Photography, and
Music"
”Working: A Celebration of Syracuse Workers in Words, Photography, and Music,” will feature music by Francisco Herrera; singer-song writer Tom Juravich, professor of labor studies and director of the Labor Center at the University of Massachusetts; and readings from Working: An Anthology of Writing and Photography (SU Press/New York City Community Press, 2008). The book is a collection of stories and photographs of daily life as told by workers who live in Syracuse. Their photographs and writings give testimony to the struggles workers face in the global economy.
The celebration is the kick-off event for the 2008 Ray Smith Symposium: Art Works: The Role of the Arts in U.S. Workers’ Stuggles. SU’s College of Arts and Sciences Humanities Council is presenting the symposium with support from the Gifford Foundation and in collaboration with the CNY Labor Federation, CNY Worker Justice Center, SEIU Local 119, SEIU 200 United, and other grass-roots organizations. The symposium will include musical and dramatic performances, film showings, readings, and panel discussions. All events are free and open to the public. A complete schedule is available on the Web at http://artworks.syr.edu .
Working: An Anthology of Writing and Photography is the culmination of two years of writing, photography, music, and performance workshops documenting the lives and struggles of the working-class residents of Syracuse. The project was supported by the Gifford Foundation and by a grant from the De Francisco Arts and Cultural Heritage Grants of the Cultural Resources Council.
