The year 1492 has long divided the study of Sephardic culture into
two distinct periods, before and after the expulsion of Jews from
Spain. David A. Wacks examines the works of Sephardic writers from
the 13th to the 16th centuries and shows that this literature was
shaped by two interwoven experiences of diaspora: first from the
Biblical homeland Zion and later from the ancestral hostland,
Sefarad. Jewish in Spain and Spanish abroad, these writers
negotiated Jewish, Spanish, and diasporic idioms to produce a
uniquely Sephardic perspective. Wacks brings Diaspora Studies into
dialogue with medieval and early modern Sephardic literature for
the first time.
