Abstract
This chapter considers the presence of Eurafricans in the Jewries of early modern Suriname and Curaçao, arguing that these individuals, who formed a separate, organized entity in Suriname by the 1790s, were in various forms members of the Jewish community, although only in terms of "peripheral inclusion."
