Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThese photographs of modern day treasures bear witness to the legacy of New World Judaism and provide a visual record of this history for future generations. Wyatt Gallery's photographs of the Jewish Treasures of the Caribbean capture the dignity and grandeur of its Sephardic past, its deep root in Iberia, as well as its fragile present and uncertain future. He skillfully evokes the dramatic and largely unknown story of the dignity and perseverance of the Caribbean Jewish experience with an unerring eye for beauty and rich historical detail. -- Jane S. Gerber, Professor of History & Director at Institute for Sephardic Studies at The Graduate School of the City University of New York
Through these photographs of sacred sites, we witness the legacy of Judaism and a rarely explored facet of Caribbean history.—Monica Haim, Director of Awake ZionTo peruse these pages is to be drawn back into the Caribbean Jewish world of yesteryear, in all of its now-faded glory. -- Jonathan Sarna, Joseph H. & Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History Brandeis University
