Searching for Belonging: Being Jewish and Latina/o/x in Postwar America

This presentation explores the histories and experiences of Latin American Jewish immigrants in the United States. Comparing two cities—Miami and Houston—Dr. Mark Goldberg will examine what it has meant to belong to two ethnic communities as immigrants in the late 20th century. In both places, Jewish Latina/o/xs built tight-knit, vibrant communities where they could embrace both their Jewish and Latin American heritage. Together, these stories enrich our understanding of Jewish, Latinx, and American history.

This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
