Abstract

In the eighteenth century, Dutch Caribbean colonies constituted the center of Jewish life in the Americas. This work looks at questions of Jewishness and home-making in these colonial contexts. Jews and other in-between groups like free people of color, it is argued, offer crucial insights into the tensions and contradictions within colonial societies more broadly. The talk upon which this printed version is based discussed why this story of Jews making their home in colonial contexts is relevant, not only for Jewish Studies, but more broadly for contemporary scholarly and societal debates.
