Exclusión social, endogamia y transmisión ocupacional. Los xuetes mallorquines (ca. 1770-1930). (Spanish)

We analyse the social and professional specialisation of a collective that was historically marginalised because they descended from Jewish converts to Christianity: The Mallorcan xuetes. The study covers the period from the final stage of the Old Regime to the year immediately prior to the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). On the one hand, their eminently commercial vocation and specialisation in certain lines of business in particular can be confirmed, as well as the intergenerational transmission of a series of professional skills sustained by endogamy-based marriages, family relations and close-knit bonds of solidarity among members of the group.

Se analiza la especialización socio profesional de un colectivo históricamente marginado por su ascendencia judeoconversa: los xuetes mallorquines. El estudio abarca desde la etapa final del Antiguo Régimen hasta el año inmediatamente anterior a la guerra civil española (1936-39). Se constata, por un lado, su dedicación eminentemente comercial y su especialización en algunas líneas de negocio en particular. Asimismo, la transmisión intergeneracional de un conjunto de destrezas profesionales sustentadas en las prácticas matrimoniales endogámicas, las relaciones de parentesco y los estrechos lazos de solidaridad entre los integrantes del grupo.
