This book explores the complex history of the Marranos, former Jews forcibly converted to Christianity in Spain and Portugal and their descendants. Despite economic and some political gains, these "Conversos" faced social stigma and Inquisition persecution. Yirmiyahu Yovel's unconventional account delves into their story and its implications for contemporary identity.
The Marranos, depicted as "the Other within," were neither fully accepted by Jews nor by Christians, lacking a stable, unified identity. The book's pages are clean and intact, with no writing or highlighting. The dust jacket is in very good condition, with only slight edgewear possible. All photos are of the actual book.
