{"product_id":"jewish-spain-tabea-alexa-linhard-9780804787390","title":"Jewish Spain: A Mediterranean Memory","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is meant by \"Jewish Spain\"? The term itself encompasses a series of historical contradictions. No single part of Spain has ever been entirely Jewish. Yet discourses about Jews informed debates on Spanish identity formation long after their 1492 expulsion. The Mediterranean world witnessed a renewed interest in Spanish-speaking Jews in the twentieth century, and it has grappled with shifting attitudes on what it meant to be Jewish and Spanish throughout the century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this book are explorations of the contradictions that appear in different forms of cultural memory: literary texts, memoirs, oral histories, biographies, films, and heritage tourism packages. Tabea Alexa Linhard identifies depictions of the difficulties Jews faced in Spain and Northern Morocco in years past as integral to the survival strategies of Spanish Jews, who used them to make sense of the confusing and harrowing circumstances of the Spanish Civil War, the Francoist repression, and World War Two. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJewish Spain\u003c\/i\u003e takes its place among other works on Muslims, Christians, and Jews by providing a comprehensive analysis of Jewish culture and presence in twentieth-century Spain, reminding us that it is impossible to understand and articulate what Spain was, is, and will be without taking into account both \"Muslim Spain\" and \"Jewish Spain.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tabea Alexa Linhard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804787395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804787390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.27w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 693","brand":"Tabea Alexa Linhard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44159220875519,"sku":"9780804787390","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91933819-5d3c-46dc-8a45-73ccf3ddd05e.jpg?v=1689081317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-spain-tabea-alexa-linhard-9780804787390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
