Summary: Scholarly overview of the history of the Sephardic Jews
Comment: With an outstanding narrative, Gerber has been able to compress the history of the Sephardic Jews from the early establishment in the Iberian Peninsula (around 200 BCE) to present date. This represents a wealth of information the author had to deal with, understanbly forced to narrow down on several topics. The reader will in fact have an amazing overview of the history of the Sephardic Jews in a single volume. Highly recommended to anyone interestd in the history of a people endowed with faith, courage, and determination to face adversities.

Rating: 4
Summary: A refreshing look at a unique time and people
Comment: Gerber presents a piece that tells the story of the often neglected Sephardic Jew. In her piece, one can appreciate this group of jewry and realize their struggles and triumphants in a world that does not understsnd their purpose. Her treatment of the inquistion material in particular is breath taking and conjures up images of the modern inquistion across Europe that was the holocaust.
