Argentine Jews in the Age of Revolt
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-32961-4 (ISBN)
Argentine Jews in the Age of Revolt traces the ongoing efforts among Argentine Jews to rethink the Argentine nation, Jewish membership in it, and the nature of Jewishness itself from 1955 to 1983. Beginning with the celebrations around the supposed triumph of the “liberal nation” after the overthrow of Juan Perón, this study examines Jewish activists’ discourse through years of rapid transitions between civil and military rule, massive social protest, escalating violence, and finally the brutal military dictatorship of 1976 to1983. It argues that these were crucial years in which Jewish activists forcefully discarded previous understandings of the nation and pioneered novel definitions of Jewishness and Zionism designed to resonate in a Latin America upended by revolutionary ferment.
Beatrice D. Gurwitz holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley. Her writing on ethnicity in Latin America has appeared in scholarly journals and collected volumes, including The New Jewish Argentina (Brill, 2012).
