Drawing on historical sources, Krauskopf discusses coexistence and conflict, the impact of the Reconquista, and the expulsions and forced conversions that followed. He reflects on how these events influenced later ideas about identity, tolerance, and religious difference. This work is valuable for readers interested in Sephardic history, interfaith relations, and the long-term legacy of Jewish and Islamic communities in Spain.
