  • The New Jewish Argentina

    Open AccessJudith Laikin ElkinARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2014

    Argentine Jews are vanishing, if you go by the records of Jewish communities. Affected by a 50 percent rate of intermarriage and by emigration, their numbers, estimated retrospectively at 310,000 in 1960, have dwindled in the intervening 50 years to 182,000. Yet Jews are very much a part of Argentine life. Thousands of “missing” Jewish Argentines, as these essays demonstrate, are dropping their hyphens and integrating into national society. Their…

  • Crossing Borders, Claiming a Nation. A History of Argentine Jewish Women, 1880–1955 ‐ by Deutsch, Sandra McGee

    Open AccessJudith Laikin ElkinARTICLEBulletin of Latin American Research2012

    Jewish women immigrants to Argentina, marginalised by the paternalistic society into which they came and by the patriarchy of their own families and organisations dedicated to 'improving' them, have largely been omitted from history.Deutsch demonstrates that they entered the Argentine historical process through their daily activities and their

  • Jews of the Amazon

    Judith Laikin ElkinARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2001

    The Jewish Publication Society did a disservice to this book and to its potential readership by releasing it under the title given above. The book is not about Jews exiled to the Amazon, but about a mestizo population living in the city of Iquitos, well integrated into local society and culture, who are the accidental descendants of Jewish traders and tappers who arrived in the region during the rubber boom of the 1880s. As the offspring of non-J…

  • Negotiating National Identity

    Judith Laikin ElkinARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2000

    A homogenized Brazilian national identity could be achieved by recruiting white immigrants to bleach out the native multiracial masses, eventually creating a modern, Europeanized society; thus spake the eugenics-intoxicated policy planners and the scholars who followed their lead. Now here comes Jeffrey Lesser. Having previously explored the non-white, non-black image imposed upon Jewish immigrants in Welcoming the Undesirables: Brazil and the Je…

  • Spain and the Jews

    Judith Laikin Elkin, Elie KedourieARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review1994

  • Tropical Diaspora

    Judith Laikin Elkin, Robert M LevineARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review1994

    For the generations of Jews who immigrated to Cuba after 1900, the experience was bittersweet. Cuba welcomed immigrants long after the United States shut its doors to them in 1924, particularly refugees from Nazism. Yet the story of Cuban Jewry also includes the tragic 1939 drama of the SS St. Louis, turned away from Havana and the United States with its cargo of German-Jewish refugees still aboard, a propaganda coup for Germany. Although many Je…

  • Latin America's Jews

    Open AccessJudith Laikin ElkinARTICLELatin American Research Review1985

    For the period since independence, Jews do not appear in Latin American history as it is written today. That there are Jews in Latin America we know. But what role have they played in their nations' histories? How have they balanced their inherited tradition with the cultures of the Luso-Hispanic world? What has been the quality of their lives as Jews and as immigrants, nonconformists in societies that exact conformity as the price of acceptance?…
