Opis

This book offers the first in-depth treatment of Jewish images of and behavior toward Blacks during the period of peak Jewish involvement in Atlantic slave-holding. It attempts to move beyond inter-ethnic polemics this book constructs a cultural and social portrait of Jews mostly Sephardic amid a larger socio-economic context, one from which Jews differed little, their religious otherness notwithstanding.
