Maite Ojeda-Mata is Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/Non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton.

This publication contributes greatly to the breadth of contemporary Sephardic scholarship by dedicating several chapters to relatively unknown subjects, such as the Jewish community in Barcelona and the treatment of Sephardic Freemasons in Spain. . . . The nuanced manner with which Ojeda-Mata treats the complicated subject of Spanish relations with the Sephardim within its borders, in the protectorate, and in Europe is valuable for the future of Sephardic studies. . . Her sources are impeccably cited and amply explained in extensive notes at the end of each chapter and a long bibliography. The strength of this volume is the concrete nature of all of the data, which often comes directly from primary sources. Ojeda-Mata does not generalize the intricacies of the often-convoluted relationships between Spain and Sephardic Jews. Modern Spain and the Sephardim is sure to become a touchstone in Sephardic studies for years to come.
