Pero cuando vino la judía Repóblica, se me había muerto mi Dimetria, y yo no tenía que comer; me jui a ver al señor de Pi, y le dije, digo: 'Señor de Pi, aquí vengo sobre una colocación...'.

But when the Jewish Repoblic came, my Dimetria had died, and I didn't have anything to eat; I went to see the Lord of Pi, and I said to him, 'Lord of Pi, here I come about some employment'.

Discussion

OK.
I wondered if he used 'judía' because like quite a few people in different countries he imagined all Jewish people were rich and influent.

perhaps more ´jodidos

Having read this section, I agree with Maryse. Where they use ‘judíos’, it means ‘damned`. I don’t know if this is due to confusion with ‘jodidos’ or simply discrimination.

I wonder if it would not be '' the damned republic' because there was no jewish republic at that time.......later he uses judia/o in the same sense again
