About

New York Times columnist and former Fisher Family Fellow with the Future of Diplomacy Project, Roger Cohen, discusses his new memoir, "The Girl from Human Street" with the Project's Executive Director, Cathryn Cluver.

In his luminous memoir, Roger Cohen turns a compassionate yet discerning eye on the legacy of his own forebears. As he follows them across continents and decades, mapping individual lives that diverge and intertwine, vital patterns of struggle and resilience, valued heritage and evolving loyalties (religious, ethnic, national), converge into a resonant portrait of cultural identity in the modern age.
