Abstract
In terms of positionality, although I was doing my research in my own country
(Brazil) and speaking my mother tongue (Portuguese), I cannot be considered an
insider. Social class, level of education, and, most importantly, religious beliefs created a considerable distance between my world and the worlds of my research participants. I am a white middle-class Brazilian from a non-Jewish background raised in Brazil’s thick syncretic religious stock.
