This volume is a multidisciplinary contribution to Sephardic studies, including chapters by some of the best-known authorities in the field, interspersed with those of young scholars who have begun making their mark in current research. The text aims to enrich this emerging field through historical linguistic studies as well as investigations based on contemporary movements, recent literary creations, and the issues involved in contemporary revival.

The chapters presented in this collection include a selection of papers originally presented at the symposium “Sepharad as Imagined Community: Language, History and Religion from the Early Modern Period to the 21st Century,” as well as pioneering contributions by other key scholars. Two notable additions include innovative explorations of Judeo-Spanish on the Internet.

Mahir Şaul (Ph.D. in anthropology, Indiana University) is Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Program in Jewish Culture and Society at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is the author of numerous articles and book chapters on West African ethnography, anthropology, history, and migration and Judeo-Spanish language and culture.

José Ignacio Hualde (Ph.D. in linguistics, University of Southern California) is Professor in the Departments of Spanish and Portuguese and Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research is in the field of phonology and historical linguistics, focusing primarily on the Romance languages and Basque.
