Description
Translating the americas: early modern jewish writings on the new world [our goal is to complete the first translations of two sixteenth-century jewish texts: joseph HA-kohen?s book of new india and luis DE carvajal?s spiritual autobiography and religious works. HA-kohen?s work is a modified translation from spanish to hebrew of francisco DE go?mara?s historia general DE LAS indias. Luis DE carvajal?s work was written after his arrest by the inquisition for secretly practicing judaism. This translation project complicates the discourse around the encounter, conquest and colonization of the americas by bringing in the voices of two iberian jews caught up in the expulsions, dislocations and persecutions of the early modern period.]
