Attitudes of the Chilean Right toward Jews
This is the first book in English to discuss the changing attitudes of the Chilean Right toward Jewish immigrants and the State of Israel from the 1930s onwards. Jewish Chileans have ascended rapidly from the status of undesirable immigrants to middle and upper-middle class, facing less obstacles than their Argentine coreligionists. Particular emphasis is given to the failed struggle to extradite war criminal Walther Rauff and to the years of the military dictatorship headed by General Augusto Pinochet.

She maps out key shifts in this relationship as well as the intriguing co...
Identity in Exodus
Moses was a misfit. Are you? Has your sense of self been buffeted by trauma, mental illness, culture shock, post-modern ideologies, and the like? If so, you are kindred spirits to this biblical patriarch. Journeying through the book of Exodus, Nikki T. White explores the topic of identity crisis in the life of Moses, inviting us to discover-through the ordinary, extraordinary, and unthinkable events of our lives-a new identity of purposed and purposeful mission. In the ancient story of Moses, White finds many modern parallels to the stories of this current generation.
