Tudor Parfitt, Hybrid Hate: Conflations of Antisemitism and Anti-Black Racism from the Renaissance to the Third Reich
The Return of the Tribe
As a part of "Xenophilia: A Symposium on Xenophobia's Contrary" in Common Knowledge, this essay examines the interest in, affection for, friendship with, and romanticization of Native Americans by Jews in the United States since the 1960s. The affinity is frequent among Jews with "progressive" or "countercultural" inclinations, especially those with strong environmental concerns and those interested in new forms of community and spirituality. For…
Through Cracks in the Wall: Modern Inquisitions and New Christian Letrados in the Iberian Atlantic World
Presenting a broad canvas, Lúcia Helena Costigan focuses on a series of Brazilian letrados, that is, elite members of a stigmatized minority, descendents of Jews, still branded as New Christians even generations after conversion to Catholicism. Costigan examines the lives and careers of Luis de Carvajal (d. 1599), Bento Teixeira (ca. 1561–1600), Ambrósio Fernandes Brandão (1557–1618), Manuel Beckman (1630–85), and playwright Antonio da Silva (170…

All Can Be Saved: Religious Tolerance and Salvation in the Iberian Atlantic World
Stuart Schwartz, one of the preeminent historians of the colonial Iberian world, analyzes a persistent “subterranean” stream of religious tolerance, relativism, skepticism, dissidence, criticism, and indifference. Inquisitions notwithstanding, a remarkable array of individuals expressed distrust of ideologies proffered by ruling elites, their institutions and practices, such as religious exclusivism or coercion, the political creation and mainten…

Jewish Ghosts in Germany
It is often said that history is written by the victors. In contemporary remembering of the fate of Jews in mid-twentieth-century Europe, however, we see in action a phenomenon widespread in the formation of modern collective consciousness: history is written by the victims—and their ghosts. In this article I will review several literary works written from a Jewish perspective on the (im)possibility of German reconciliation with the past, then ex…
A Passover in Mallorca
While the illustrious crowd may frequent Mallorca for some sophisticated sun, I convinced my wife that the island also represented the perfect, perhaps once-in-a-lifetime Passover plan. In mid-winter, a colleague, Gloria Mound, informed me that she was organising Passover in Mallorca for the local descendants of the island’s Jews, who had converted to Catholicism – some willingly but most under duress – beginning in the fourteenth century. Gloria…

American Jewish Historians, Colonial Jews and Blacks, and the Limits of Wissenschaft: A Critical Review
Though absolutely justified in refuting the specious yet dangerous accusations that Jews instigated anti-black discourse and/or the Atlantic slave trade, it has become all too easy for Jewish scholars to fall prey to a self-congratulatory delusion of the opposite order. Rebuttal of the anti-Jewish views of extremist black nationalist demagogues does not erase the need to critique problematic biases "at home." In this article, I will analyze some …
