AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This is the story of Benjamin, who fled his native Poland during the Nazi occupation, aiming to fulfil his father's long-held dream of settling in Palestine. But along the way he and his fellow survivors are stranded in Calcutta, and somehow it becomes inevitable that he will stay...
'There, Where the Pepper Grows is the moving story of a family set against the drama of real historical events. It brings East and West together in an unforgettable novel of a search for refuge, and a passionate plea for tolerance.' (Publisher's blurb)

— Appears in: Narratives of Estrangement and Belonging : Indo-Australian Perspectives 2016; (p. 277-284)

'Today, the ethnic minority and integration discourse of the 1980s and earlier, has been replaced by the diaspora dialogue. This has led to a significant paradigm shift in all facets of studies connected with communities who have left their native countries ans settled in new ones. Australia, with its multiethnic population has its own share of narratives of estrangement and belonging.' (277)
