What motivated the Brazilian government, he asks, to create a secret ban on Jewish entry in 1937 just as Jews desperately sought refuge from Nazism? And why, just one year later, did more Jews enter Brazil legally than ever before? The answers lie in the Brazilian elite's radically contradictory images of Jews and the profound effect of these images on Brazilian national identity and immigration policy. Lesser's work reveals the convoluted workings of Brazil's wartime immigration policy as well as the attempts of desperate refugees to twist the prejudices on which it was based to their advantage. His subtle analysis and telling anecdotes shed light on such pressing issues as race, ethnicity, nativism, and nationalism in postcolonial societies at a time when "ethnic cleansing" in Europe is once again driving increasing numbers of refugees from their homelands. 410 0$aACLS Fellows' Publications. 517 3 $aBrazil and the Jewish question 606 $aJews$zBrazil$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$zBrazil$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAntisemitism$zBrazil 606 $aNationalism$zBrazil 606 $aAntisemitism$zBrazil 606 $aNationalism$zBrazil 607 $aBrazil$xEthnic relations 607 $aBrazil$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory 615 0$aAntisemitism 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aAntisemitism 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a981/.004924 700 $aLesser$b Jeffrey$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01015475 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495884103321 996 $aWelcoming the Undesirables$92371546 997 $aUNINA
