Summary

Verena Dolle examines memories written down in exemplary fictional and referential (factual) texts by Jewish Latin American writers, especially Alberto Gerchunoff’s Los gauchos judíos (1910/1936, Argentina), Margo Glantz’s Las genealogías (1981, Mexico) and Bernardo Kucinski’s K. (2011, Brazil). Her chapter combines ideas of narrative power and intercultural memories to analyse texts that address Jewish migration and adaptation to new countries. This leads to an elaboration of cultural memory of the Jewish minority in twentieth-century Latin America and highlights a strong correlation with the memory of the majority. By exploring the subjectivity and polyphony of memory reflected in literary texts, the chapter gives voice and visibility to competing narratives that stress crucial aspects in the interaction between different cultures.
