| Summary: | Jewish communities in Brazil have a unique identity resulting from their specific cultural and historical backgrounds. Their contours are continually evolving under the influence of various political, religious, and cultural models, each one acting at a local, a national, and/or a transnational level. Jewish populations from São Paulo compose a microcosm for the study of networks of ideas, conceptions, and ideologies. Being part of theses circulations is not a characteristic of Jews or even of Brazil. Is a phenomenon characteristic of open societies. This paper focuses in particular on the competition between Orthodox and Liberal Jewish groups and on the changes of identifications in a country, which, as it gradually relinquishes the land of miscegenation, is clearly progressing towards a recognition of minorities’ identities resulting from the end of the military dictatorship. |
