Congratulations to Adriana Brodsky and Raanan Rein whose edited volume has been chosen as the winner of the 2013 Latin American Jewish Studies Association Book Prize! The New Jewish Argentina aims at filling in important lacunae in the existing historiography of Jewish Argentines. Moving away from the political history of the organized community, most articles are devoted to social and cultural history, including unaffiliated Jews, women and gender, criminals, printing presses and book stores. These essays, written by scholars from various countries, consider the tensions between the national and the trans-national and offer a mosaic of identities which is relevant to all interested in Jewish history, Argentine history and students of ethnicity and diaspora. This collection problematizes the existing image of Jewish-Argentines and looks at Jews not just as persecuted ethnics, idealized agricultural workers, or as political actors in Zionist politics.â Contents: List of Tables, Maps, and Figures; Acknowledgment; List of Contributors; Introduction; Chapter One The Jewish Experience in Argentina in a Diasporic Comparative Perspective; Chapter Two From Textile Thieves to "Supposed Seamstreses": Jews, Crime, and Urban Identities in Buenos Aires, 1905-1930; Chapter Three Uprooting the Seeds of Evil: Ezras Noschim and Jewish Marriage Regulation, Morality Certificates, and Degenerate Prostitute Mothers in 1930s Buenos Aires; Chapter Four Print Culture and Urban Geography: Jewish Bookstores, Libraries and Printers in Buenos Aires, 1910-1960.; Chapter Five "Don Jacobo en la Argentina" Battles the Nacionalistas: Crítica, the Funny Pages, and Jews as a Liberal Discourse (1929-1932)Chapter Six The "Other" Gerchunoff and the Visual Representation of the Shoah; Chapter Seven An Argentine Experience?
