"Contemporary Jewish Writing in Brazil" showcases a diverse range
of modern Jewish writers from one of South America's most vibrant,
multicultural communities. Brazil's population is largely Catholic;
its Jewish population today numbers about 120,000 mostly upwardly
mobile Jews living in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Porto Alegre.
Brazilian Jewish writers often use the testimonial and fantastic
modes of Latin American literature to expose anti-Semitism, explore
the challenges and opportunities for the Jewish diaspora in South
America, and reexamine historical and cultural connections to the
Old World. This anthology features the work of such internationally
recognized figures as Moacyr Scliar and Clarice Lispector,
including two early stories by Lispector that have never before
appeared in English translation. Of special note are Samuel Rawet,
the father of modern Jewish writing in Brazil; Alberto Dines, a
prominent public and literary figure in the 1970s and 1980s; and
more recently acclaimed writers such as Cintia Moscovich.
