The son of a Black mother with deep family roots in Alabama and a white Jewish man from Long Island, Loeb grows up in a Black family in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey as one of the few nonwhite children in their suburban neighborhood. Despite his many and ongoing efforts to fit in, Loeb acutely feels his difference--he is singled out in class during Black History Month; his hair doesn't conform to the latest fad; coaches and peers assume he is a talented athlete and dancer; and on the field trip to the Holocaust Museum, he is the Black Jew. But all is not struggle. In lyrical vignettes, Loeb vibrantly depicts the freedom, joys, and wonder of childhood; the awkwardness of teen years, first jobs, first passions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Loeb, Davon $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Racially mixed children $z New Jersey $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $x Race identity $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024940.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=617C5F52BFDA11ED80450CB14FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
