It recounts the emergence of Sephardic civilization, life under shifting Muslim and Christian rule, and the pressures that culminate in the expulsion of 1492. Later sections follow migration patterns, encounters with modernity, and post-war revival, supported by maps, notes, and reference materials.","# THE JEWS OF SPAIN\n\nTHE FREE PRESSA Division of
