Series Description: While the study of antisemitism in Latin America is often rooted in its historical legacy and foundational experiences, simplistic or reductionist analyses must be avoided. Instead, more nuanced approaches are needed, highlighting variations over time, place, and forms of expression, as well as their connections to changing contexts: from the Conquest and the Inquisition to nation-building and the quest for national integration; from contradictory attempts to achieve modernity to nationalism’s bifurcations; from fascism versus liberalism to the role of the Catholic Church and Catholicism as a civic religion; and from global interconnectedness to the complex impacts of globalization.
