Darker Shade of Pale: Shtetl to Colony

Darker Shade of Pale traces early twentieth century Jewish migration from the Russian Empire to colonial South Africa through one man’s life. Blending personal memoir and historical inquiry, Deborah Posel reveals the hidden costs of uprooting—dislocation, ambition, shame—and the shame of failure in a settler colony.
