Description
Jews of the Dutch Caribbean addresses identity and ethnicity, through a detailed study of a little-known group in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. It asks readers to take a broad perspective on the contexts that play a role in ethnicity - including, for example, ecology, history, kinship, commerce, and language use in everyday life and, crucially, rituals. Drawing on ethnographic research to analyze ethnic identity, Benjamin takes a broad and innovative perspective, presenting ethnic identity as local as well as a transnational phenomenon, shaped by history and re-shaped through contemporary, everyday interactions.
