	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2004025995
		Latin America has been a refuge for Jews fleeing persecution from 1492, when Sepharad Jews were expelled from Spain, until well into the twentieth century, when European Jews sought sanctuary there from the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust.
		While commonalities of religion and culture link these communities across time and national boundaries, the Jewish experience in Latin America is irreducible to a single perspective.
		Some of the pieces are personal tales of exile and survival some explore Jewish humor and its role in amalgamating histories of past and present and others look at serious episodes of political persecution and military dictatorship.
