‘The Sephardics of Curaçao’ offers an in-depth study of the Sephardic Jewish community in Curaçao, which has played a significant role in the island’s economic, social, and cultural development since the 17th century. Through anthropological analysis, Frances P. Karner examines the origins of this community, their migration from the Iberian Peninsula, their influence on trade in the Caribbean, and their religious and social traditions.
