The United
Congregation of Israelites in Jamaica (UCIJ)
By Ainsley Henriques
Jamaica's historic Jewish communities are today represented by the
United Congregation of Israelites, Congregation Kahal Kadosh Shaare
Shalom, the Gates of Peace.
Why historic? It is because when the English captured Jamaica in 1655
from the Spanish they found people there who may have been Marranos but
must certainly have been Conversos. Interestingly, whilst no Jews were
allowed in the Spanish New World, Jamaica, belonging to the Col?n
family, seemed to shut its eyes at Conversos. There is evidence that
they were involved with the introduction of Sugar Cane and the making
of Sugar from as far back as 1512, produced by the "Portugals" that
were sent to Jamaica....

The Color of Jews: Racial Politics and Political
Diasporism
by Melanie Kay/Kantrowitz
"Every once in a while a
book comes along and smacks you in the face with its wisdom,
intelligence, and compassionate politics. The Colors of Jews is such a
book. . . an amazing tool for teachers and scholars in feminist,
anti-racist, postcolonial and American studies, and for social justice
workers everywhere. A book . . . by a comrade and sister who
understands and respects difference, dissent, and solidarity at a deep
level." --Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Syracuse University
