This edited volume places Jewish-Latin Americans within the context
of Latin American and ethnic studies. It departs from traditional
scholarship that segregates Jews as inhabitants "in" Latin America
republics rather than as citizens "of" Latin American republics.
The essays draw examples primarily from Argentina and Brazil, the
two South American countries with the largest Jewish populations,
and span from the late nineteenth century into the 1990s.
By giving primacy to the national identity of Jewish-Latin
Americans, the essays included here emphasize human actors and
accounts of lived experiences. Lesser and Rein's thought-provoking
introduction outlines seven new formulations of the relationship
between Jews, the nation-state, and their Diasporic experience.
Individual contributors then pursue new perspectives of the Jewish
experience, including those of the working class, labor organizing
and anarchist activities, women, and the reconceptualization of
racism and anti-Semitism.
