The Transnational Mexican Renaissance
The Salience and Pervasiveness of the Literary Figure of the Jew in Latin America
Jews of Latin America, from the colonial period to the present, have been branded heretical, inauthentic, or treasonous and perceived as threats to the colonial domination of Spain’s Counter-Reformation and modern iterations of nationalism in the region.
