University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 USA St, John's Road, Tyler's Green High Wycombe, Bucks, England HP10 BHR 78-12,337 INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continuëd again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

AIDING OPPRESSED JEWRY IN THE SOVIET UNION, 1919-1933 ........ ................... 256 1 V INTRODUCTION Internal conflicts have been present in the Ameri­ can Jewish community ever since this community became heterogeneous--from the moment it came to include Jews who differed from each other in national origin, economic status, social orientation, political philosophy, and religious practice. The first Jews to set foot on American soil arrived in 1654. They were Sephardim, some of whom emigrated from Spain, Portugal, and Holland, and others who came by way of South America. The Sephardim were mostly petty trad­ ers, peddlers, and small shopkeepers.^ Some of the Sephar­ dim followed the frontier, some even becoming fur-traders who obtained their pelts from Indians in exchange for 2 trinkets, guns, and liquor. A few Jews became wealthy 1 Jacob R. Marcus, Early American Jewry: The Jews of Pennsylvania and the South, 1655-1790, volume 2, (Phila­ delphia, 1953), p. 400; Rufus Learsi, The Jews in America: A History, (Cleveland, 1954), pp. 34-35. p Learsi, The Jews in America, p. 35. 2 merchants in mercanti11stically minded colonial America. The Franks family and Aaron Lopez of Rhode Island were wealthy merchants who became official purveyors and agents for the British Crown. Before the advent of a quartermas­ ter corps, commercial purveyors "were vital to the success of any military undertaking. Army supply was a form of enterprise in which many Jews, particularly in Europe, 3 achieved wealth and influence. ." The Sephardim were chiefly orthodox in their Juda­ ism. In colonial America, the synagogue occupied a most important position in the Jewish community. Unlike Europe, the Jewish community in America was not a chartered corporation. It possessed no specific rights; it was not legally recognized by the State; and it had no power in relation to its component membership. Whereas a Jewish community in a European town could control the right of settlement and the right to establish a business, could collect taxes, and even had its own laws where rabbinic laws were authoritative, no such "kahal" or "gemeinde" 3jacob R. Marcus, Early American Jewry: The Jews of New England and Canada, 1549-1794, v. 1, (Philadelphia, 1951), p. 65. The Frankses were also engaged in the "tea trade," shipped lumber to the West Indies, dealt in bills of exchange, and outfitted ships for privateering. 3 (community) existed in America, The Jew belonged to the Jewish community "because he wanted to belong. Though there were few formal edifices that housed the Holy Ark (usually a rented room sufficed), the Jewish community created several institutions that served its constituency. The cemetery, or House of Life, was usually the first institution created by the Jewish community in a town; sometimes it would be almost a century before the synagogue would be erected. Philanthropy was an adjunct of the syna­ gogue. Alms were paid out of the congregational treasury and the amounts expended sometimes reached almost 25 per 5 cent of the Jewish community's budget. The president of the synagogue would dispense funds to "messengers" from Palestine, help poor itinerants through town, and make adequate provision for the local poor, sick, and aged,® Another adjunct of the synagogue was the religious school. The New York and Newport, Rfiode Island Jewish communities had buildings for schools. The curriculum consisted of Hebrew and religious training in the all-day 4jacob R. Marcus, Early American Jewry, volume 2 pp. 432-434. ®Ibid. , pp. 482-484. ®Ibid. schools; after 1755, Spanish and the traditional "three R's" were offered. By 1762, English was the language of instruction. Yet, despite the critical need for religious training and Jewish education, the Jewish community in colonial America did not do much about it. One historian of the American Jewish community surmises that the "syna­ gogue did not see it as one of its functions to educate the children; rather, the task was the responsibility of the parent."^ After 1725 most Jews coming to the colonies were from Central or Eastern Europe; these were the Ashkenazim. Though the entire Jewish population in the thirteen colo­ nies did not exceed a few hundred, the Ashkenazim and Sephardim quarreled amongst themselves. The Ashkenazim were forced to pray with the Sephardim. Family disputes, business jealousies, and private feuds were behind much of O the synagogue dissension. Religious "differences" played a part in the clashes of colonial days; one year the Ash­ kenazim in Philadelphia held separate High Holy Day ' iPid. , pp. 462-464; Learsi, The Jews in America, pp. 37-38. ®Jacob R. Marcus, Early American Jewry, volume 2, pp. 71-73. g services. The Sephardim retorted in a letter to a co­ religionist in England: "The new Jews are a plague. Pray prevent what is in your power to hinder any more of that sort to come. One minister who visited Savannah, Georgia wrote: Some Jews in Savannah complained to me the other day that the Spanish and Portuguese Jews persecute the German Jews in a way no Christian would persecute another Christian. They want to build a syna­ gogue, but the Spanish and German Jews can't come to terms. The Spanish and Portuguese are not strict insofar as eating is concerned. They eat, for instance, the beef that comes from the warehouse. The German Jews, on the other hand, would rather starve than eat meat they did not slaughter them- selves . ^ ^ A new wave of German-Jewish emigration to the United States began after the

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

    NEGOTIATING EVANGELICALISM AND NEW AGE TOURISM THROUGH QUECHUA ONTOLOGIES IN CUZCO, PERU by Guillermo Salas Carreño A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Bruce Mannheim, Chair Professor Judith T. Irvine Professor Paul C. Johnson Professor Webb Keane Professor Marisol de la Cadena, University of California Davis © Guillermo Salas Carreño All rights reserved 2012 To Stéphanie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was able to arrive to its final shape thanks to the support of many throughout its development. First of all I would like to thank the people of the community of Hapu (Paucartambo, Cuzco) who allowed me to stay at their community, participate in their daily life and in their festivities. Many thanks also to those who showed notable patience as well as engagement with a visitor who asked strange and absurd questions in a far from perfect Quechua. Because of the University of Michigan’s Institutional Review Board’s regulations I find myself unable to fully disclose their names. Given their public position of authority that allows me to mention them directly, I deeply thank the directive board of the community through its then president Francisco Apasa and the vice president José Machacca. Beyond the authorities, I particularly want to thank my compadres don Luis and doña Martina, Fabian and Viviana, José and María, Tomas and Florencia, and Francisco and Epifania for the many hours spent in their homes and their fields, sharing their food and daily tasks, and for their kindness in guiding me in Hapu, allowing me to participate in their daily life and answering my many questions.

    American Jewish History A QIJilrteriY P11bllcatlon of the Amerloan J.ewlsh Hlstorloal SOciety Two Jewish Lawyers Named Lollis* JONATHAN D. SARNA The year r856 was a vintage year for brilliant Jewish lawyers named Louis. On November 13, r8s6, Louis Brandeis was born in Louisville, Kentucky. One month later, on December 14, r856, Louis Marshall was born in Syracuse, New York. Louis and Louis were both first-generation Americans, born of central European Jewish parents. They both compiled stellar academic records. They both went on to have a profound affect on American law. Both were considered for seats on the U.S. Supreme Court, although only one of them made it.' And both became eminent leaders in American Jewish life. Yet while both men earned enormous respect within the Jewish and general communities, they never became friends and rarely worked to­ gether. They differed religiously, philosophically, and politically. They approached Judaism, America, and even the law itself from sharply different perspectives. The parents of Louis Brandeis and Louis Marshall arrived in America at approximately the same time in the middle of the nineteenth century.' Brandeis' parents hailed from Prague, Marshall's father from Baden and his mother from Wiimemberg. The two fathers had experienced prejudice and privation in central Europe that precipitated their emigration. Adolph Brandeis, who grew up in an urban area and studied at the Technical ,. An earlier version of this paper was delivered as the 1006 B. G. Rudolph Lecture in Judaic Studies at Syracuse University, commemorating the rsorh anniversary of the birth of Louis Marshall.

The decade that followed was bookended by interruptions to mass immigration, first brought on by the eruption of war in Europe, and then in 1924 by the virtual banning of mass immigration through the National Origins Act. The years in between were punctuated by bitter labor conflicts—the Colorado miners’ strike, the Mesabi Range Strike, the Great Steel Strike of 1919 to name but a few —in which immigrants predominated. It was a decade of intense ideological conflict for the loyalty of immigrants among competing currents of working class radicalism and patriotic nationalism— conflicts exacerbated by the loyalty drive of WWI, the Russian Revolution, and revolutions and counter-revolutions in Europe.

I would be very grateful if you could give me a recommendation to some philosopher or economist with whom I can talk shop. Very cordially, ~l Emil Kauder EK/rm Enclosure Austro-Marginalism contra Austro-Marxism.* 1. The permanent confusion, It is not clear whether the value debate became so:t confusing because it lasted so long, or whether it lasted so long because it is so confusing. By 1804 Lauderdale had become so perplexed by the frustrating stage of this debate that he compared the search for the true value with the hunt for the philosopher's stone.1 Undaunted by Lauderdale's warning, in 1932 tl the German association of Economists (Verein fur Socialpolitik) set aside a whole convention for the discussion of the true value. 2 Even today the debate continues, as Boulding presents the .Walrasian position while Russian and Yugoslavian Marxists defend the labor value theory,3 The following confrontation of the Austro-Marxists and the Austro-Marginalists reveals some reasons for the permanence and the confusion of this discussion.
