"By recontextualizing the unhappy events of 1609–14 in an international context and by demonstrating what a diasporic approach might mean for interpreting the expulsion of the Moriscos, The Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain will surely occupy a prominent place within the expanding scholarly literature in English on Spain’s Morisco minority. It should find a ready readership among the growing number of anglophone students and scholars interested in early modern Iberia and the Muslim world, the encounter between Islam and Christianity, and relations between cultural and religious minorities and majorities."A. Katie Harris (University of California, Davis), in: Renaissance Quarterly LXIX (2016). "The Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain provides a learned addition to the expanding scholarship on minority-minority and minority-majority relations in Spain...These innovative essays will be of interest to students and scholars of Hispanic, Sephardic and Islamic Studies, as well as to students of Early Modern Europe."Jane S. Gerber (The Graduate Center of the City University of New York), in: Bulletin of Spanish Studes XCIV (2017).
