Sephardi, Jewish, Argentine
“A much-needed monograph on the role of Sephardic Jews in Argentina, and . . . an important contribution to the study of Jews in Latin America overall” (Choice). At the turn of the twentieth century, Jews from North Africa and the Middle East were called Turcos (“Turks”). Seen as distinct from Ashkenazim, Sephardi Jews weren’t even identified as Jews. Yet the story of Sephardi Jewish identity has been deeply impactful on Jewish history across the world. Adriana M. Brodsky follows the history of Sephardim as they arrived in Argentina, created immigrant organizations, founded synagogues and cemeteries, and built strong ties with coreligionists around the country. Brodsky demonstrates...

Argentina’s populist movement, led by Juan Perón, welcomed people from a broad range of cultural backgrounds to join its ranks. Unlike most populist movements in Europe and North America, Peronism had an inclusive nature, rejecting racism and xenophobia. In Peronism as a Big Tent Raanan Rein and Ariel Noyjovich examine Peronism’s attempts at garnering the support of Argentines of Middle Eastern origins – be they Jewish, Maronite, Orthodox Catholic, Druze, or Muslim – in both Buenos Aires and the interior provinces. By following the process that started with Perón’s administration in the mid-1940s and culminated with the 1989 election of President Carlos Menem, of Syrian parentage...
The Contours of Identity
Explores the emergence of an Argentine Jewish identity through the study of the Sephardic minorities that settled in Argentine. Focuses on the strategies adopted by Sepharadim in dealing with each other and with the Ashkenazic majority, and thus helps us understand how ethnic and national identities are not contradictory, but can depend upon and compliment each other.

Los refranes y maldiciones del acervo folclórico ídish que, en versión española y fonética original ídish, integran la presente obra, fueron seleccionados intentando brindar una muestra amplia y representativa de esta singular expresión oral del pueblo judío. En el marco de una historia más de tres veces milenaria, el ídish condensa una cultura cocinada a fuego lento a lo largo de un milenio. Muchos refranes ídish son chistes condensados, y también expresiones de sabiduría popular: Los dos se quieren, él se quiere y ella se quiere. Cuando la solterona sale a bailar van los músicos a orinar. Si todas las personas tiraran para el mismo lado el mundo se daría vuelta. Según s...
