ABSTRACT
This talk will focus on the interactions and connections between the two main “minority” groups on the Dutch Antillean Island of Curacao – Afro-Curacaoans and (Sephardic) Jews. These connections can be seen in the political, business, social, and charitable spheres, where Sephardic Jews played a mediating role between the Afro-Curacaoan majority and the tiny white Protestant, largely Dutch, elite. Beyond mediation, however, this talk will describe and analyze the horizontal relationships between Afro-Curacaoans and Jews themselves, with a focus on the realm of politics and governance. It will also provide background and context on the history of Jewish Afro-Curacaoan relationships on the island.
