Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LAJSA Book Award Winner, 2017, Latin American Jewish Studies Association As Cuba industrialized in the nineteenth century, an epochal realignment of the social order occurred. In this period of change, two seemingly disparate, yet nevertheless intertwined, ideological forces appeared: anti-Semitism and abolitionism. As the antislavery movement became organized in Cuba, the argument grew that Jews participated in the African slave trade and in New World slavery, and that this participation gave Jews extraordinary influence in the new Cuban economy and culture. What was remarkable about this anti-Semitism was the decidedly small Jewish population on the island in this era. This form of anti-Semitism, Silverstein reveals, sprang almost exclusively from mythological beliefs.
Download or read book The Evil Banality of Racism written by Joseph F Delgado and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE EVIL BANALITY OF RACISM: Puerto Rico Before and After Tapia y Rivera's La cuarterona examines the social tapestry that has resulted from African slavery in Puerto Rico and Cuba since the sixteenth century. Its starting point is the rhetorical space created by abolitionist drama La cuarterona (The Quadroon), by Puerto Rican playrwright Alejandro Tapia y Rivera (1826-1882). The essay is a deep analysis of racist attitudes, documented objectively as well as from the author's own experience, and the heritage of internalized prejudice it produces in the object of racial bias that persists into the twenty-first century equally, if subtly, in the Republic of Cuba, among the Cuban exile diaspora and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, despite affirmations to the contrary. The analysis surveys the use of the quadroon as stock character in American and Spanish American literature to evaluate the contribution Tapia y Rivera made to the subject of racial interaction.
