reviewed Sephardic-American Voices: Two Hundred Years of a Literary Legacy on March 16, 2013 Sephardic-American Voices: Two Hundred Years of a Literary Legacy
This book gave me exactly what i was looking for; a taste of the overlooked, under-served segment of our multicultural smorgasbord in the USA. Sephardic Jews are considered descendants of Spain, the Sephardi world, ruined by the expulsion in 1492 by Ferdinand & Isabella, the Spanish King & Queen who seized the properties & monies of these minorities in the formerly Moorish Muslim Spain, to pay for their costly wars. After their Golden Age of living in harmony with the Moors, the Jews fled to many countries.
Here you will find over 200 years worth of a 'literary legacy' you never knew existed in North America. These immigrant voices are from very different places, and illuminate the non-European, non-Ashkenazi Jewish experience in countries like Syria, Salonica, Turkey, Iraq and Lebanon.
The sections deal with these themes:
1. Tradition & Assimilation: The Descendants of the Colonial Shephardim
2. Memoirs of the Homeland: Levantine Sephardim Remember, Return & Record
3. Stories of the Levantine Immigrants
4. The Holocaust
5. Historical & Biblical Influences
6. Issues of Identity
There are good lessons here, original and innovative approaches, and another lens through which to view the globalization of us all.
