excellent
  I am a Brazilian anthropologist, Jewish too, living in the U.S.: I just LOVED this Gringa's blog, absolutely fascinating! Gringa, you should undertake graduate studies in anthropology (Museu Nacional/UFRJ has an excellent program). You could use your own experiences, and also the feed-back to this blog. Girl, go for it!!! Sonia
