Particular attention is given to the role of these unique diasporas in the functioning of the six great European world maritime empires of the time - the Venetian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, English and French. New material and argument is offered relating to the questions of diaspora formation, Sephardic social practices, crypto-Judaism, religious syncretism, cross-cultural brokerage, and the contribution of diasporas to European expansion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Israel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004127658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004127654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.68w x 1.68d","brand":"Jonathan Israel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075248746751,"sku":"9789004127654","price":308.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6885f0e1-7ce4-440a-9cb2-b89f1eb8f29a.jpg?v=1685458457","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diasporas-within-a-diaspora-israel-9789004127654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
