U Kin: Portuguese Marranos and the Global Search for Belonging is certainly a relevant contribution to the field of Jewish Studies, particularly in the contemporary Portuguese context. In the book, Naomi Leite explores the ways that the Marranos1 in the northern Portuguese city of Oporto imagine themselves in relation to others— namely in regard to their surrounding society and the mainstream Jewish communities—and their search for a sense of belonging in a globalized world. The impact of the Marranos’ encounters with travelers, especially those coming to Portugal interested in, attracted by, or with affinity to local Jewish culture, are also considered a relevant part of this contemporary globalism. Therefore, as an expert on the anthropological study of tourism, Leite offers the reader an engaging and insightful analysis into the possible relations between affinity, identity, exclusion, kinship, and tourism, grounded in intensive ethnographic fieldwork.

U Kin：葡萄牙语 Marranos 和全球寻找归属感无疑是对犹太研究领域的相关贡献，尤其是在当代葡萄牙语背景下。在这本书中，娜奥米·莱特探索了葡萄牙北部城市波尔图的马拉诺人如何想象自己与他人的关系——即关于他们周围的社会和主流犹太社区——以及他们在全球化的环境中寻求归属感的方式。世界。Marranos 与旅行者相遇的影响，尤其是那些对当地犹太文化感兴趣、被吸引或有亲和力的来到葡萄牙的旅行者，也被认为是这种当代全球主义的相关部分。因此，作为旅游人类学研究的专家，莱特以深入的民族志田野调查为基础，为读者提供了对亲和力、身份、排斥、亲属关系和旅游之间可能关系的引人入胜且富有洞察力的分析。用她自己的话来说：
