Being Jewish in Brazil--the world's largest Catholic country--is fraught with paradoxes, and living in S縊 Paulo only amplifies these vivid contradictions. The metropolis is home to Jews from over 60 countries of origin, and to the Hebraica, the world's largest Jewish athletic and social club.
Jewish identity is rooted in layered experiences of historical and contemporary dispersal and border crossings. Brazil is famously tolerant of difference but less understanding of longings for elsewhere. Celebrating both Carnival and the High Holidays is but one example of how Jews in S縊 Paulo hold themselves together as a community in the face of the forces of assimilation.

The special strength of this book, aside from its lyrical writing, is that the author effortlessly blends the meaning of being Jewish in Brazil with that country s much noted racial and cultural tolerance and shows how Jewish identity is impacted by Brazilian concepts of race and ethnicity. It is a delight to read. Maxine Margolis, University of Florida A fascinating ethnography of contemporary life among middle- and upper-middle class Jews in Sao Paulo, Brazil, one of the world s largest cities. Although representing a tiny fraction of Brazil s multicultural population, the Jewish community consciously creates and carefully maintains a tightly organized, lively haven in a chaotic urban center, while also embracing much of Brazil s national culture. Robin Sheriff, University of New HampshireBeing Jewish in Brazil the world s largest Catholic country is fraught with paradoxes, and living in Sao Paulo only amplifies these vivid contradictions. The metropolis is home to Jews from over 60 countries of origin, and to the Hebraica, the world s largest Jewish athletic and social club. Jewish identity, like any diasporic identity, is rooted in layered experiences of historical and contemporary dispersal and border crossings. When Jews arrived in Brazil from so many points on the globe, they brought with them significant cultural differences. Building on their common identity as Jews, these immigrants and their descendants created community in their new country through mostly secular organizations. Drawing on national ideologies of inclusion, these communal organizations have facilitated the Brazilification of the Jewish community through the use of Portuguese and the incorporation of Brazilian practices, including holidays, into the Jewish repertoire. Misha Klein s fascinating ethnography reveals the complex intertwining of Jewish and Brazilian life and identity.Misha Klein is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Oklahoma.A volume in the series New World Diasporas, edited by Kevin A.
