    Abstract: Interprets Coetzee's novel "Disgrace" (1999) as a deconstruction of the traditional genre of South African literature, the "plaasroman" or pastoral novel, depicting white physical labor in the countryside, and thus legitimizing Afrikaner ownership of African land. In "Disgrace", the role of the "white male patriarch", vital for the "plaasroman", is played by a character named David Lurie, who in the course of the novel hands over his farm to a black African named Petrus. Shows that the Lurie character is a typical "racial Jew", stereotyped by the antisemitic literature of previous generations and marked with the signs of degeneration: he is a sexual pervert and intellectually sterile, unable to produce a work of aesthetic value; he is weak physically, which prevents him from working on the land. His whiteness as well as his belonging to South Africa are doubtful. Lurie's otherness is inscribed on his body and face. Coetzee wrote an allegory of post-apartheid South Africa, but did so through the figure of an immoral and degenerate Jewish alien.

    Abstract: "As Cuba industrialized in the nineteenth century, two ideological forces appeared: anti-Semitism and abolitionism. As the antislavery movement became organized in Cuba, the argument grew that Jews participated in the African slave trade and in New World slavery, and that this participation gave Jews extraordinary influence in the new Cuban economy and culture. Because of the decidedly small Jewish population on the island in this era, this form of anti-Semitism sprang almost exclusively from mythological beliefs"--
