AND THE STREETS WERE PAVED IN GOLD?

Jewish immigration in the nineteenth and twentieth-century will be the focus of the second half of the course.  How did Jewish immigrants negotiate economic, social, and religious space within Latin American societies?  Where and why did they settle?  How did colonial notions of Catholicism and Judaism influence modern attitudes towards Jewish immigrants?
