Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) February 1, 2012
celebration of February as Black History Month 1960 is more than remembering slavery and the civil rights movement. The Second World War was a very important time in African-American struggle for recognition as equal parts of the nation who said they believed in freedom for all. SEFRIN Eliot explores the irony of the country to war in the fight against racism and oppression in Europe, while discriminating against a segment of the population in the blood of his new novel The Promised Land (ISBN 9781462026104, iUniverse, 2011).
Tags: Set in 1943 at the height of World War II, the blood in the Promised Land records two separate paths Menon poor black immigrant who flees from the Jim Crow South to work in the booming steel industry Pittsburghs, and other Jewish doctor forced to flee from Nazi-occupied Europe. When their paths through randomly during an outbreak of racial violence, their fateful meeting immediately form their lives to enable them to overcome their differences and exorcise the ghosts of his past.

Roosevelts childhood is based on real events that happened in Rosewood, Floridaan all-black town destroyed by an explosion of racial violence in 1920.

Roosevelts
experiences during his six-month odyssey mirror those legions of rural blacks who fled south to find employment protection and a better life in the northern industrial cities during World War II IIand team whose path eventually changed the face of America. The north face of fanaticism in the sign of stress in the workplace, hate strikes, terrorist groups and hate, which require the implementation of the traditional barriers of race, blacks had to seize the unique opportunity to remake War South, poor white parsing rule and achieve permanent entry in the blue-collar professions, upwardly mobile.
Blood
Promised Land reminds readers that the United States is a melting pot in which the black experience, and a Jew, is an important part of its history. SEFRIN states of the novel, I wanted to tell the stories of two people who are opposite in terms of race, religion, education, and roots, and yet find commonalities that ultimately assemble them together into a single, bold, life-changing quest. people need to look beyond the obvious differences to overcome the stereotypes that often determine who they are, and try to form alliances to achieve the common good. Black History Month is an ideal opportunity to explore through the novel, how diversity is reflected in the United States and made it stronger by continuing the work of those who fought for freedom for allregardless race, color, sex or religion.
