Beskrivning
Reflections on A New Mexican Crypto-Jewish Song Book offers close examinations of a manuscript written over a 20-year period by Loggie Carrasco, a well-known crypto-Jew from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The manuscript includes a wide range of genres: folklore, memory, ritual practices, genealogy, and most significantly poetry and songs. Although the manuscript remains unpublished, this book utilizes quotations and excepts to enable the reader to have a good understanding of Carrasco’s voice. Focusing on the main genres and themes that shape Carrasco’s manuscripts, the contributors argue that the work is both unique and illustrative of the vitality of crypto-Jewish culture and contemporary understandings of it.

The Crypto-Jewish phenomenon hit New Mexico like a Tsunami in the early 1980s when then State Historian Stan Hordes started hearing whispers and stories by Catholic Hispano New Mexicans about a hidden legacy long buried, yet still alive. This volume reveals how that experience of many New Mexicans has evolved, through traditions, music, heritage, and DNA technology, into something much vaster than initially suspected. Family histories and genealogies trace back through a labyrinth journey from northern New Mexico, through Mexico and the Caribbean, to the Canary Islands, then further back to Medieval Spain and Portugal, and North Africa as well. Loggie Carrasco is the real-life protagonist in this saga of life, death, persecution, re-discovery, and redemption.
