Passion, Memory, and Identity
A lively analysis of the major contribution of Jewish women writers in Latin America.
Welcoming the Undesirables
Jeffrey Lesser's invaluable book tells the poignant and puzzling story of how earlier this century, in spite of the power of anti-Semitic politicians and intellectuals, Jews made their exodus to Brazil, "the land of the future." 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.

Jewries at the Frontier
Traversing far flung Jewish communities in South Africa, Australia, Texas, Brazil, China, New Zealand, Quebec, and elsewhere, this wide-ranging collection explores the notion of "frontier" in the Jewish experience as a historical/geographical reality and a conceptual framework. As a compelling alternative to viewing the periphery only as a locus of dispossession and exile from the "homeland, " this work imagines a new Jewish history written as the history of the Jews at the frontier. In this new history, governed by the dynamics of change, confrontation, and accommodation, marginalized experiences are brought to the center and all participants are given voice. By articulating the tension between the center/periphery model and the frontier model, Jewries at the Frontier shows how the productive confrontation between and among cultures and peoples generates a new, multivocal account of Jewish history.

The Routledge History of Antisemitism
Antisemitism is a topic on which there is a wide gap between scholarly and popular understanding, and as concern over antisemitism has grown, so too have the debates over how to understand and combat it. This handbook explores its history and manifestations, ranging from its origins to the internet. Since the Holocaust, many in North America and Europe have viewed antisemitism as a historical issue with little current importance. However, recent events show that antisemitism is not just a matter of historical interest or of concern only to Jews. Antisemitism has become a major issue confronting and challenging our world. This volume starts with explorations of antisemitism in its many different shapes across time and then proceeds to a geographical perspective, covering a broad scope of experiences across different countries and regions. The final section discusses the manifestations of antisemitism in its varied cultural and social forms. With an international range of contributions across 40 chapters, this is an essential volume for all readers of Jewish and non-Jewish history alike.
Filipson
"Já ouviram falar de Filipson? Um nome esquisito. Nem parece brasileiro. Mas, dentro do Brasil imenso, constituía um pontinho minúsculo que ficava lá nas bandas do Sul, perdido no meio de diversas colônias prósperas compostas em sua maioria de imigrantes espanhóis, italianos e alemães e uma ou outra fazenda de brasileiros." Desde a primeira linha, Frida Alexandr surpreende o leitor, interpelando-o com uma pergunta. Mesmo em 1967, quando suas memórias foram publicadas em edição restrita, provavelmente poucos responderiam afirmativamente à sua questão. Filipson foi a primeira colônia judaica oficial do Brasil, formada por imigrantes judeus provenientes da Bessarábia (na região ...

Entre Moisés e Macunaíma
Uma crônica da presença judaica no país que é fruto da colaboração de dois dos nossos maiores escritores: Márcio Souza, descendente dos antigos Bentes de Manaus, e Moacyr Scliar, filho da onda migratória que se instalou em Porto Alegre nos primeiros anos do século XX. Combinação perfeita: de Norte a Sul do Brasil, ashkenazis e sefaradis dos quatro cantos do planeta aportaram ao longo dos séculos e aqui se instalaram, produziram, cresceram e se multiplicaram.
