This book is an excellent tool both for scholars and students interested in the wide range of Jewish expressions found in Latin America, which are hardly known in other regions.
Esta obra é fruto da experiência acumulada pelas autoras nas atividades de mediadoras de campo e de professoras de cursos de formação e capacitação continuada de mediadores e facilitadores. Diante das habilidades técnicas exigidas do mediador, esta obra, além de promover a aquisição do conhecimento e instrumentalizar tais atores, desenvolve o raciocínio crítico do leitor por meio da formulação de perguntas ao final de cada capítulo.
