Summary

This is a fascinating study of contemporary "crypto Jews"--descendants of European Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity during the Inquisition, but clandestinely continued their faith by way of secret and often modified Jewish rituals. Jacobs has done 50 in-depth interviews with conversos currently living in the American southwest.

Author Biography

Janet Liebman Jacobs is Professor of Women's Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder
