This remarkable open-access volume on migration in the early modern Mediterranean will be published this month. I’m delighted to contribute and to help recover the often-overlooked voices of displaced Sephardic and Morisco communities—an act, I believe, of historical recognition.

Happy to share my new article, “Unpublished Documents on the Abolition of the Portuguese Jewish (Sephardic) Community in Tunisia.” Based on five documents published for the first time from the TNA, it offers a rare glimpse into Jewish Twansa–Grana relations in colonial Tunisia.
