About Creole Jews: Negotiating Community In Colonial
Product Description This study presents a refined analysis of Surinames-Jewish identifications. The story of the Surinamese Jews is one of a colonial Jewish community that became ever more interwoven with the local environment of Suriname. Review "... Based upon extensive archival research and a wide range of published and unpublished sources in Dutch and English, Vink's study explores the social history and the trajectory of the Jewish ethnic groups who made their home in Suriname, analyzing changes in their way of life, the fluctuation of identities, and their status in society over the span of three centuries. Vink's elegant prose eases our passage through thickets of bureaucracy and intercommunal rivalries, separating them from one another with surgical skill while clarifying their relationships with one another. This is an important book for Latin American and Jewish sociology and history." - American Historical Review (December 2011) About the Author Wieke Vink (1971) obtained her Master's in social history at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
