Introduction: On legitimizing identities -- 1. The legacy of modernity for the Jews in Spain -- 2. The Sephardim and Spanish colonialism in Morocco and the Eastern Mediterranean -- 3. Sephardic Jews in Spain -- 4. The management of socio-religious differences -- 5. Persecution and expulsion during the early years of the Franco dictatorship -- 6. Spain and the Sephardim during World War II -- 7. Epilogue: The 2015 law granting Spanish citizenship to Sephardic Jews of Spanish origin.

Sommario/riassunto

"This book scrutinizes the hitherto-unchallenged idea of the Sephardic identity as a mix of Spaniard and Jew. Ojeda-Mata examines the processes by which this conceptualization of the Sephardim developed from the nineteenth century onward and the consequences of this conceptualization for Sephardic Jews during World War II and in the present day"--

Sommario/riassunto

The performance of a process -- for example, how an aircraft consumes fuel -- can be enhanced when the most effective controls and operating points for the process are determined. This holds true for many physical, economic, biomedical, manufacturing, and engineering processes whose behavior can often be influenced by altering certain parameters or controls to optimize some desired property or output.
