Reviews

This absorbing book by Raanan Rein, a pioneer of teaching Latin American Studies in Israel, draws together a number of academic essays that have emerged from his ongoing research into the Jews of Latin America in general and the Jews of Argentina in particular. Rebecca J. W. Jefferson, University of Florida, Association of Jewish Libraries, September/October 2011, Volume 1, No. 3. [Rein's] argumentation is very clear and free of jargon and extraordinarily well documented. [...] Argentine Jews or Jewish Argentines? will certainly be of interest to scholars in Jewish studies and Latin American Jewish studies, Israel studies and historians of Argentina. Stephen Sadow, Hispanic American Historical Review, vol. 92, no. 2 (May 2012) Rannan Rein's fine collection of suggestive essays, entitled Argentine Jews or Jewish Argentines? Essays on Ethnicity, Identity, and Diaspora, is a critical contribution encouraging more subtle approaches to studying the identities of Jewish populations in Latin America. These thoughtful pieces will also prove to be significant for scholars of other immigrants and minorities in the region. Steven Hyland, Jr., Wingate University, Journal of Latin American Studies 44 (2012)
