Chaim Potok Quote
In Culture Confrontation in Urban America, Potok uses the term Zwischenmensch to define himself and his experience of cultural conflict: Urban wanderings that result in core-culture confrontations often shape a certain kind of individual. I call that individual a Zwischenmensch, a betweenperson. Such an individual will cross the boundaries of his or her own culture and embrace life-enhancing elements from alien worlds.
