Summary
The rise of xenophobic nationalism demands a radical revision of the foundational archives of nation-states just as much in Chile as in the Americas: In what way do the silent voices of immigrant communities, and of other marginalized groups, reveal the darkest zones of our postmodern age? It is from this position that we propose to trace the literary footprints drawn on Chilean soil by Jewish immigrants of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Although still overlooked, these voices have not abandoned their eagerness to challenge essentialist definitions of identity and nation.
