{"product_id":"9781954404168","title":"Professor Schiff's Guilt - 9781954404168","description":"An Israeli professor travels to an imaginary West African nation to trace a slave-trading ancestor, only to be imprisoned there under a new law barring successive generations from profiting off the proceeds of slavery. Confined to a villa by local authorities, Professor Schiff meets a string of dignitaries including a former soccer star who has become the country's president. Back in Tel Aviv--the novel unfolds in different time frames--the protagonist has fallen in love with Lucile, a mysterious African migrant worker who cleans his house. Both entertaining and thought-provoking, this is a hilarious satire of contemporary attitudes to racism and the legacy of colonialism that examines economic inequality, the global refugee crisis, as well as the historical memory of trans-Atlantic chattel slavery and the Holocaust. Is the professor's passion for Africa merely a fashionable pose and is the book he is secretly writing about his experiences there nothing but a contemporary version of the slave trade?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAgur Schiff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eNew Vessel Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMay 09, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e336 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1954404166\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781954404168\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"New Vessel Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47953747706161,"sku":"9781954404168","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781954404168.jpg?v=1703080563","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781954404168","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
