Description: Portuguese Jews and New Christians in Colonial Brazil, 1 : A New Geography of the Atlantic World, Hardcover by Marcus, Alan P., ISBN 082636716X, ISBN-13 9780826367167, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The diaspora of Portuguese Jews and New Christians, known as Gente da Nação (People of the Nation), is considered the largest European diaspora of the early modern period. Portuguese Jews not only founded the first congregations and synagogues in Brazil (Recife and Olinda), but when they left Brazil they played an imperative role in establishing the first Jewish communities in Suriname, throughout the Caribbean, and in North America. Drawing on nearly twenty thousand digitized dossiers of the Portuguese Inquisition, this volume offers a comprehensive, critical overview informed by both relatively inaccessible secondary sources and a significant body of primary sources.
