A Moroccan Jew in Catholic and Protestant Europe (Johns Hopkins UP 2003 and translations)."By recontextualizing the unhappy events of 1609–14 in an international context and by demonstrating what a diasporic approach might mean for interpreting the expulsion of the Moriscos, <i>The Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain</i> will surely occupy a prominent place within the expanding scholarly literature in English on Spain’s Morisco minority.
