What does it mean to leave the country -- and the people -- you love? To be uprooted from the soil that gave birth to and nurtured you? To abandon both your past and your hoped-for future and embark on a voyage of uncertainty? In Refugee Song, Feuchtwanger weaves together fragmented memories of his South African childhood, youth, and self-exile with the stories of others -- refugees, the displaced and dispossessed, voyagers -- who were forced or chose to leave their homes, including his Jewish forebears, Africa's colonized and colonizers, and heroic and tragic characters from Greek mythology.
