- Zusatztext
- <p>The 2015 law granting Spanish nationality to the descendants of Jews expelled in 1492 is the latest example of a widespread phenomenon in contemporary Spain, the "re-discovery" of its Jewish heritage.<br>&#xa0;<br>In<i>The Memory Work of Jewish Spain</i>, Daniela Flesler and Adrián Pérez Melgosa examine the implications of reclaiming this memory through the analysis of a comprehensive range of emerging cultural practices, political initiatives and institutions&#xa0;in the context of the long history of Spain's ambivalence towards its Jewish past.&#xa0;<br>&#xa0;<br>Through oral interviews,&#xa0;analyses of&#xa0;museums, newly reconfigured "Jewish quarters," excavated Jewish sites, popular festivals, tourist brochures, literature and art,<i>The Memory Work of Jewish Spain</i> explores what happens when these initiatives are implemented at the local level&#xa0;in cities and towns throughout Spain, and how they affect Spain's present.</p>
