"The volume is nicely introduced by Yosef Yerushalmi's meditation on the concepts of exile and expulsion in the Jewish collective memory (as well as in the works oif modern historians)." -- Bernard D. Cooperman, University of Maryland, Sixteenth Century Journal "Like the holocaust, the 1492 expulsion demands attention as a chapter in European as much as Jewish history. This wide-ranging symposium explores antecedents, causes, mechanics, and aftermath in fifteen studies reflecting the recent flowering of the 1492 scholarship... The resulting collection is a worthy introduction to that epic of tragedy and triumph." -- Robert I. Burns, S.
