Description of  Gente como Uno: Class, Belonging, and Transnationalism in Jewish Life in Lima (Jewish Latin American Studies)

1644697424 pdf In San Isidro, Lima, the only Jewish school in Peru stands on a street widely known as Los Manzanos (The Apple Trees) but whose name changes to Maimonides (the Jewish sage) depending on which sign you look at. As she takes us on a stroll through this six-block street and its different names, Dr. Romina Yalonetzky introduces readers to a physical microcosm of the intersection between Peruvian and Jewish identity, elucidated through the varied voices and experiences of Peruvian Jews. This book sheds a novel light on both Jewish and Peruvian identities.
