Original titleThe Silver Candelabra & Other Stories: A Century of Jewish Argentine Literature (Discoveries (Latin American Literary Review Pr))
In a revealing look at the Jewish experience in Argentina, 12 authors present the struggle to create an identity in a new country and maintain it through successive generations in this collection of short stories and memoirs. Beginning with Alberto Gerchunoff and ending with more contemporary authors such as German Rosenmacher and Alicia Steimberg, the stories range in theme from immigration and Zionism to economic hardship and military repression. The book contains biographical information for each author and frames their work within a larger cultural context.
