Forgotten Diaspora - Mark, Peter (Wesleyan University, Connecticut) a Horta, Jose da Silva (Universidade de Lisboa)

This book traces the history of early seventeenth-century Portuguese Sephardic traders who settled in two communities on Senegal's Petit CĂ´te. The study not only discovers previously unknown Jewish communities but by doing so offers a reinterpretation of the dynamics and processes of identity construction throughout the Atlantic world.
