The Jewish Presence in Latin America
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-90038-0 (ISBN)
Originally published in 1987, this collection of essays is a major contribution toward developing a realistic picture of the Latin American Jewish communities in the late 20th Century. The book will be of interest to students of comparative studies, Jewish studies and Latin American studies and responds to the need to learn more about the Jewish communities of Latin America, both as a fragment of the Jewish diaspora and as an element in the economic and social life of the continent.
Judith Laikin Elkin is founding president of the Latin American Jewish Studies Association. Gilbert W. Merkx is Professor of sociology and Director of the Latin American Institute at the University of New Mexico.
