NOMINATED FOR THE 2010 |
MY RACE is the memoir of a gifted Jewish athlete growing up under the apartheid system of South Africa. Lorraine Lotzof Abramson shares her unique vantage point on the apartheid experience. She provides a first-hand account of her growing unease with the system of social inequality that simultaneously excluded her and celebrated her.
Lorraines grandparents left Eastern Europe to escape oppression, only to find themselves in another oppressive society. This time, they were on the same side as the oppressors, by virtue of their white skin. How they lived in that society and dealt with this situation, is part of her story.
Lorraine shares her ambitions, her achievements, her losses, and her family ties. Along the way, she learns that the real race the marathon that is a long and eventful human life is a journey towards compassion.
