4.9/5 (26092 ratings)

Description:An eyewitness account of major 20th century social movements Born a red-diaper baby, Norman Cantor, as a 4 and ½ year-old in 1947, first experiences the vicious public hostility toward his father, a major figure in Communist Party "I hear and see a hostile crowd assembled on the street below our apartment. I can’t make out the words they’re yelling, but I sense the shrill, threatening tone. Suddenly, I glimpse flames shooting upward from below. Someone in the crowd has ignited the awning of my grandfather’s liquor store. The flames get doused, but I am terrified." His father goes underground and Norman gets raised by a mother who was a pioneering women's lawyer promoting civil rights and workers' interests. During a distinguished career as a law professor, Cantor pioneers in advancing the "death with dignity" movement. First, as a participant in the landmark Quinlan case that set the pattern for American end-of-life jurisprudence. More recently, as an advocate for people intent on avoiding immersion in advanced Alzheimer's disease. Finally, Cantor becomes a participant in the liberal Zionist movement seeking to maintain a Jewish homeland in Israel with full citizenship and civil rights for all its inhabitants. My Eccentric Family is a rare journey with universal lessons that is simultaneously a deeply personal memoir and an incisive work of history. Includes engaging encounters with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, mafia kingpin Angelo Bruno, and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
