"Benjamin's work is a welcome contribution to a small but growing body of research.....it is generally an excellent study of the community. Benjamin has successfully synthesized a comprehensive historical and ecological analysis of Curacao with an in-depth analysis of the Jewish community."

"The crux of [Benjamin's] research, specifically the detailed analysis of the community and the sensitive and compelling autobiographical voice employed within the narrative makes the work both unique and valuable to ethnographers and historians alike."
