520 "Alex Wagner grew up with a patchwork picture of her
identity. She was the daughter of two great waves of
immigration: her Irish father's American roots were in the
19th century stream of Europeans looking to start over,
and her Burmese mother arrived as part of the mid-20th-
century wave of Asian and Latin American immigrants,
fleeing their own civil wars and economic crises. Both
sides of her family embraced America as their new home,
leaving behind the Old World, except for the occasional
ritual, now emptied of meaning. Alex grew up only knowing
that she was brown--a harbinger of a future America, one
where we'd gotten past our atavistic ideas of race and
ancestry. But this noble idea left her feeling empty and
alone. Then one day a cousin on her father's side--the
family historian--let slip a family secret: their great-
grandfather, the first Wagner to settle in America, might
have been Jewish. And Alex was suddenly awakened to the
possibility of actually being someone--having an identity
that mattered, a tribe to belong to--and was intoxicated
by the possibility. So she set off on a quest to find the
truth about her family story and to answer the deeper,
nagging questions: Who am I? And where do I belong?"--
