In this classic memoir that explores the Nazi presence in the south of Chile after the war, Marjorie Agosín writes in the voice of her mother, Frida, who grew up as the daughter of European Jewish immigrants in Chile in the World War II era. Woven into the narrative are the stories of Frida's father, who had to leave Vienna in 1920 because he fell in love with a Christian cabaret dancer; of her paternal grandmother, who arrived in Chile later with a number tattooed on her arm; and of her great-grandmother from Odessa, who loved the Spanish language so much that she repeated its harmonious sounds even in her sleep. Agosín's A Cross and a Star is a moving testament to endurance and to the power of memory and words.This edition includes a collection of important new photographs, a new afterword by the author, and a foreword by Ruth Behar.

This large, bilingual collection contains work from over twenty years of writing, arranged in sections which reflect themes and metaphors that are fundamental to Agosin's artistic and critical oeuvre. Her rich Eastern European and Latin American heritage, her experience in exile, and her profound humanistic visions accompany the poet as she writes about her ancestors, about women and children and about the poor and disinherited. Despite the often difficult materials that she examines, Agosin also expresses a need to rejoice in life, to hope and believe in the possibility of change.
