We are excited to announce that our oral history interviews with descendants of Sephardic Jews on Spanish and Portuguese citizenship are now available as a digital archive through the Sephardic Studies Program at the University of Washington Libraries. We are grateful to our narrators for making the archive possible and to the staff and program director, Devin Naar, for their collaboration and labour to make these 62 interviews available to the public.
You can find here the Showcase page, with excerpts from six interviews: https://jewishstudies.washington.edu/spanish-portuguese-citizenship-sephardi-jewish-descendants-oral-history/
This is the page with all of the available interviews: https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/p16786coll3/search/searchterm/%22Sephardi%20Citizenship%20Oral%20History%22/field/all/mode/all/conn/and/cosuppress/
We hope you find the content compelling and can also use the interviews in your teaching, cultural work, and other contexts. The interviews are relevant to those interested in history (including family history and oral history), modern citizenship, genealogy, Sephardic and Jewish Studies, multiple identities, religion, ethnography, anthropology, area studies (e.g. Iberian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, etc.), among many other fields, as well as those exploring genealogy and ancestry.
Relatedly, the paperback version of our edited volume, which includes scholarly articles and personal essays on this topic, has also been released. An e-book is also available. Please visit: https://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/KandiyotiBenmayorReparative
