Abstract:

The author discusses how this issue of AJS Perspectives will present developments in the field of Middle Eastern and Sephardic studies. He notes that this field technically contains separate prongs of the study of Sephardic Jewry (Jews from the Iberian Peninsula and their descendants elsewhere) and Middle Eastern Jewry.
