This book offers the first in-depth treatment of Jewish images of
and behavior toward Blacks during the period of peak Jewish
involvement in Atlantic slave-holding. Based on a wide-range of
sources in several languages, many previously unexplored and
unpublished in English, it addresses some basic scholarly
questions: What do primary sources tell us about relations between
early modern Blacks and Jews? What do Jewish sources, textual and
archival, convey about Blacks? If Jews lived according to Jewish
law, did Jewish behavior toward their slaves take shape under its
influence? What does the Jewish legal tradition say about slavery
and behavior toward slaves? Is there a connection between Jewish
textual attitudes toward Blacks and Jewish behavior toward them? If
so, how do the two inform one another? Attempting to move beyond
inter-ethnic polemics, this book constructs a cultural and social
portrait of Jews - mostly Sephardic - amid a larger socio-economic
context, one from which Jews differed little, their religious
otherness notwithstanding.
