"Marrano Memory and Identity, Past and Present"
Distinguished historical anthropologist Nathan Wachtel will present a seminar which asks the questions, 'How can one explain a scholarly trajectory that leads from the historical and anthropological study of Andean Indians to that of Marranos in the Americas? How is it that we find contemporary Marranos in northeastern Brazil, of all places?' Nathan Wachtel is a visiting professor in the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program as well as the Institute for Jewish Studies. He is the author of Jewish Memories and Gods and Vampires, among other publications.
