This article presents an overview of recent tendencies in Latin
American Jewish Studies (hereafter LAJS). Two major developments will be
surveyed. One is the growth of resources for research; these include new
publications, reissues and translations of previously difficult-to-access
texts, and scholarly associations and other means of main taining
contact between researchers with similar concerns. These developments are
especially significant since faculty researching and teaching LAJS have
often been hindered by the difficulty of gaining access to information
and teaching resources.


Beyond making material available, LAJS researchers have been bringing
their own activities more clearly into focus. Scholars have made
efforts to identify the direction LAJS is taking and to suggest future
directions.
