Portuguese Jews and New Christians in Colonial Brazil, 1500-1822
The diaspora of Portuguese Jews and New Christians, known as Gente da Nação (People of the Nation), is considered the largest European diaspora of the early modern period. Portuguese Jews not only founded the first congregations and synagogues in Brazil (Recife and Olinda), but when they left Brazil they played an imperative role in establishing the first Jewish communities in Suriname, throughout the Caribbean, and in North America. Drawing on nearly twenty thousand digitized dossiers of the Portuguese Inquisition, this volume offers a comprehensive, critical overview informed by both relatively inaccessible secondary sources and a significant body of primary sources.
Entwined Homelands, Empowered Diasporas
Entwined Homelands, Empowered Diasporas explores how the 30,000 Jews in northern Morocco developed a sense of kinship with modern Spain, medieval Sepharad, and the broader Hispanophone world that was unlike anything experienced elsewhere. The Hispanic Moroccan Jewish diaspora, as this group is often called by its scholars and its community leaders, also became one of the most mobile and globally dispersed North African groups in the twentieth century, with major hubs in Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Spain, Israel, Canada, France, and the US, among others. Drawing on an array of communal sources from across this diaspora, Aviad Moreno explores how narratives of ancestry in Spain, Israel, Morocco, and several Latin American countries interconnected the diaspora, empowering its hubs across the globe throughout the twentieth century and beyond. By investigating these mechanisms of diaspora formation in a small community that once shared the same space in Morocco,Entwined Homelands, Empowered Diasporas challenges national accounts of the broader Jewish diasporas and adds complexity to the annals of multilayered ethnic communities on the move.

בית־ספר הטרוגני
חלק מן הקהילייה החינוכית בישראל ניצב בשנים האחרונות מול ביקורת וביטויים של אי-שביעות-רצון על רקע ההתמודדות של בתי-ספר עם בעיית האינטגרציה. יש הטוענים שאין ביכולתה של מערכת חינוך ריכוזית להתמודד עם צורכי החינוך של אוכלוסיות תלמידים מגוונות. עוד נטען שמדיניות האינטגרציה באה על-חשבון החתירה למצוינות. במקביל לביקורת, ניכרת בשנים האחרונות מגמה בקרב הורים בעלי יכולת ואנשי-חינוך להיאבק ל...

The Shaping of Israeli Identity
A dozen essays document the evolution of national myths in Israel as the heroic figures and events of independence and survival transmute into blind fanaticism, great-power manipulation, and traditional colonialism and genocide. Without passing any judgement on the changes, they delve into the meani
