Gente como Uno

In San Isidro, Lima, the only Jewish school in Peru stands on a street widely known as 'Los Manzanos' ('The Apple Trees') but whose name changes to 'Maimonides' (the Jewish sage) depending on which sign you look at. As she takes us on a stroll through this six-block street and its different names, Dr. Romina Yalonetzky introduces readers to a physical microcosm of the intersection between Peruvian and Jewish identity, elucidated through the varied voices and experiences of Peruvian Jews. This book sheds a novel light on both Jewish and Peruvian identities.
