From the sixteenth century on, hundreds of Portuguese New Christians began to flow to Venice and Livorno in Italy, and to Amsterdam and Hamburg in northwest Europe. In those cities and later in London, Bordeaux, and Bayonne as well, Iberian conversos established their own Jewish communities, openly adhering to Judaism. Despite the features these communities shared with other confessional groups in exile, what set them apart was very significant. In contrast to other European confessional communities, whose religious affiliation was uninterrupted, the Western Sephardic Jews came to Judaism after a separation of generations from the religion of their ancestors. In this edited volume, several experts in the field detail the religious and cultural changes that occurred in the Early Modern Western Sephardic communities. "Highly recommended for all academic and Jewish libraries." - David B Levy, Touro College, NYC, in: Association of Jewish Libraries News and Reviews 1.2 (2019)

The United States Department of Defense defines terrorism as 'the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.' While terrorism has been around for centuries, it was the al Qa'eda attacks of September 11, 2001, that brought home to the world, and most particularly the United States, just how dangerous terrorism can be. The third edition of the Historical Dictionary of Terrorism presents the full spectrum of forms of political violence through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on major terrorist groups and their leaders, significant terrorist events, cyber-terrorism, counterterrorism, and social science concepts regarding the motivations and group dynamics of terrorist groups. Authors Sean K. Anderson and Stephen Sloan move beyond the gut reaction we have to this volatile and divisive topic by providing a reliable and objective reference on terrorism.

More than just an expression of religious authority or an instrument of social control, the Inquisition was an arena where cultures met and clashed on both shores of the Atlantic. This pioneering volume examines how cultural identities were maintained despite oppression. Persecuted groups were able to survive the Inquisition by means of diverse strategies—whether Christianized Jews in Spain preserving their experiences in literature, or native American folk healers practicing medical care. These investigations of social resistance and cultural persistence will reinforce the cultural significance of the Inquisition. Contributors: Jaime Contreras, Anne J. Cruz, Jesús M.

Website: www.peoplesrightsfund.org EXCERPT FROM UNVEILING THE REAL TERRORIST MIND Working for Peace in a Time of War By Derrick Bell I grieve for the thousands of people who lost their lives on September 11. They died without warning or any sense that they were in danger or that they had done anything wrong. The depth of the tragedy can be gauged by the pain one feels reading their full-page obituaries that have run for weeks in the New York Times. Those whose pictures and short, biographical sketches are published there were persons in the midst of busy lives, with plans now never to be completed and aspirations, now never to be fulfilled. They leave loved ones and friends for whom there is no consolation, no ability to forget. In our anger and grief, it is evidently easy for many to forget that what we experienced in the horror of a few short hours is what peoples in many parts of the world have had to learn to live and die with. Modern war and rebellions are increasingly waged against noncombatants, unarmed and vulnerable. Those who died at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania were innocent. Our country in our retaliation against Afghanistan, has not been innocent of raining down bombs and rockets that while aimed at "the enemy" inevitably killed as many innocent civilians as died on September 11. And if the toll is less, it is because of fortuity, not our humanity. Our decade-long boycott of Iraq and far longer boycott of Cuba, have been the direct cause of death for thousands of women and children while strengthening rather than forcing an end to the leadership in those countries. In our efforts to retaliate against those who planned the September 11 attacks and to displace leaders in countries we do not like, the Nation's leaders ignored the admonition of the Episcopalian minister at the National Cathedral´s post September 11 prayer service who urged that as we act, we "should not become the evil that we deplore." Wonderful words, but for those who design and carry out our foreign policy, they come years, even decades too late. Only in recent weeks has the mainstream and mostly conservative media begun reluctantly to provide us with some idea of how much our policies have caused understandable hate in much of the Third World. And since that

This volume is concerned with the religious, social and commercial 'networking' methods extending over a large part of the world, ranging from the Near East to South America, used by the western Sephardic Jewish diaspora - and the linked 'New Christian' diaspora (in lands where the Inquisition prevailed)- from the mid sixteenth to the mid eighteenth century. Particular attention is given to the role of these unique diasporas in the functioning of the six great European world maritime empires of the time - the Venetian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, English and French. New material and argument is offered relating to the questions of diaspora formation, Sephardic social practices, crypto-Judaism, religious syncretism, cross-cultural brokerage, and the contribution of diasporas to European expansion.
