Race, Class, Privilege: How Latino Jews Navigate Life in the United States

1:30PM - 2:30PM  

Virtual

Using a comparative perspective to understand the lived experiences of Latino Jews in the United States, this talk explains how this group of immigrants attain upward mobility by successfully navigating racial and class structures.

The Jews, Race, and Religion series uses the prism of Jewish experience to examine intersections of race and religion, drawing lessons from the history of antisemitism, examining the role of Jews in the racialized culture of the United States, and exploring the role of race in Jewish identity. Leading scholars in Jewish Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Religious Studies will share insights and research that deepens the conversation about race, racism and anti-racism in contemporary society, both American and Jewish.
