More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
The history of Sephardic Jews, descendants of Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, is intertwined with the history of Jewish communities throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. Twelve contributions document and reappraise the roots and cultural heritage of Sephardic Jews, with a special focus on their (little-studied) experience in the New World. Annotation c.
