HERNANDEZ GOMEZ DE MOLINA, ADRIANA. The "Revolutionary-Jew":: a Binomial that Crossed the Atlantic. UH [online]. 2016, n.281, pp.75-84. ISSN 0253-9276.

A combination of myth and reality seems to back up the identification of the binomial Revolutionary-Jew that expanded itself throughout Europe by the end of the 19th century, as from the anti-Semite myths of the time: the Jew's identification with "exploitative Capitalism", on the one hand, and the "revolutionary Socialism", on the other. Besides blaming them for being the schemers of a world conspiracy. The present work is a primary attempt to get close to the causes that encouraged the Jews, or at least a considerable number of them, to get involved in theEuropean revolutionary movements in late 19th and early 20th centuries; to carry out a debate on the Jews' role as the main theoreticians of Socialism, and to analyze the way in which the identification of Revolutionary-Jew binomial influenced the Cuban Jewish community, which was in the midst of its formation process during the first half of the 20th century.

Keywords : communist; community; Jews; revolution.
