From award-winning Eritrean author Haji Jabir comes a profoundly
intimate novel about one man's tireless attempt to find his place
in the world. Dawoud is on the run from his murky past, aiming to
discover where he belongs. He tries to assimilate into different
groups along his journey through North Africa and Israel, changing
his clothes, his religious affiliations, and even his name to fit
in, but the safety and peace he seeks remain elusive. It seems
prejudice is everywhere, holding him back, when all he really wants
is to create a simple life he can call his own. A chameleon,
Dawoud-or David, Adal, or Dawit, depending on where and when you
meet him-is not lost in this whirl of identities. In fact, he is
defined by it. Dawoud's journey is circuitous and specific, but the
desire to belong is universal. Spellbinding to the final page,
Black Foam is both intimate and grand in scale, much like the
experiences of the millions of people migrating to find peace and
safety in the twenty-first century.
