This collection of articles on Latin American Jews comprises a wide range of subjects, including comparative analyses of Latin American Jewry from the perspective of globalization and transnationalism, monographic studies on religious identities, interactions between Jews and non-Jews, multiple dimensions of Zionism, and literary criticism.

Based on an international conference organized by the University of Sao Paulo, the Dahan Center in Bar Ilan University, and the Academic College in Ashkelon, this volume contributes a new approach to Latin American Jewish Studies. It pays special attention to the Jews of Brazil, who are underrepresented in academic works in English, and at the same time it reflects the way in which Latin American Jewry is perceived by scholars of Jewish Studies in Israel.
