The expulsion\nof Europe’s last major Jewish community ended more than\na thousand years of unparalleled prosperity, cultural vitality\nand intellectual productivity. Yet, the crisis of 1492 also gave\nrise to a dynamic and resilient diaspora society spanning\nEast and West.\nAfter Expulsion traces the various paths of migration and resettlement\nof Sephardic Jews and Conversos over the course\nof the tumultuous sixteenth century. Pivotally, the volume\nargues that the exiles did not become “Sephardic Jews”\novernight. Only in the second and third generation did these\ndisparate groups coalesce and adopt a “Sephardic Jewish”\nidentity.\nAfter Expulsion presents a new and fascinating portrait of\nJewish society in transition from the medieval to the early\nmodern period, a portrait that challenges many longstanding\nassumptions about the differences between Europe and the\nMiddle East.","brand":"Redrainforest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32433647321143,"sku":"9780814729137","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/4664\/4791\/products\/after-expulsion.jpg?v=1608187074","url":"https:\/\/redrainforest.myshopify.com\/products\/after-expulsion-1492-and-the-making-of-sephardic-jewry","provider":"Redrainforest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
