When it was first published in 1980; Judith Laikin Elkin's foundational book on the Jewish communities of Latin America quickly became the standard resource on the topic. This new edition; the first in fifteen years; brings the story up-to-date; incorporating the events of recent decades and reflecting new insights provoked by the changing political; cultural; and economic conditions throughout the region.

Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good source about all immigrantsBy R. GrasshoffTexas; as well as the rest of the country; owes much to the Europeans who crossed the ocean in the 19th century. This book notes not just one group; but many groups who had a hand in that. It's a welcome addition to studies on the issue. But European emigration also had an effect on the people who stayed behind in Europe; as seldom documented; but as expressed in the letters one family wrote to their Texas-immigrant relative and documented in the book Man of Two Worlds.
