Vibrant Jewish communities have deep roots in countries such as Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, and Chile?though members of these communities have at times experienced the pain of being "the other," ostracized by Christian society and even tortured by military governments. While commonalities of religion and culture link these communities across time and national boundaries, the Jewish experience in Latin America is irreducible to a single perspective. Only a multitude of voices can express it. This anthology gathers fifteen essays by historians, creative writers, artists, literary scholars, anthropologists, and social scientists who collectively tell the story of Jewish life in Latin America. Some of the pieces are personal tales of exile and survival; some explore Jewish humor and its role in amalgamating histories of past and present; and others look at serious episodes of political persecution and military dictatorship. As a whole, these challenging essays ask what Jewish identity is in Latin America and how it changes throughout history. They leave us to ponder the tantalizing question: Does being Jewish in the Americas speak to a transitory history or a more permanent one? 606 $aJews$zLatin America$xHistory 606 $aSephardim$zLatin America$xHistory 606 $aJews$zLatin America$xSocial life and customs 606 $aJews$zLatin America$vPersonal narratives 606 $aJews$zLatin America$xSocial conditions 607 $aLatin America$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aSephardim$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aJews 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions. 676 $a980/.004924 701 $aAgosin$b Marjorie$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811442103321 996 $aMemory, oblivion, and Jewish culture in Latin America$93927836 997 $aUNINA
