"After the Black Death offers a compassionate cultural history of the plague and its influence on the Iberian Jewish community...In her unique style, [Einbinder] both conveys the evocative language of the medieval texts and produces a contemplative history on humanity and resilience. This book is a must read for scholars studying and teaching the plague—not only because of its focus on the Jewish community which unwillingly played an important role in the social events that followed its wake, but for its sensitive and inquisitive attempt to bring to the fore the ways in which the plague, and historical events more broadly, imprint people's lives. Herein lies its even greater and more universal value." (The Catholic Historical Review)
