The Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain
The expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain (1609-1614) represents an important episode of ethnic, political and religious cleansing which affected about 300,000 persons. The controversial measure was legimitized by an ideology of religious and political unity that served to defend the expulsion of them all, crypto-Muslims and sincere converts to Christianity alike. The first part focuses on the decision to expel the Moriscos, its historical context and the role of such institutions as the Vatican and the religious orders, and nations such as France, Italy, the Dutch Republic, Morocco and the Ottoman Empire. The second part studies the aftermath of the expulsion, the forced migrations, settlement and Diaspora of the Moriscos, comparing their vicissitudes with that of the Jewish conversos. Contributors are Youssef El Alaoui, Rafael Benítez Sánchez Blanco, Luis Fernando Bernabé Pons, Paulo Broggio, Miguel Ángel de Bunes Ibarra, Antonio Feros, Mercedes García-Arenal, Jorge Gil Herrera,Tijana Krstić, Sakina Missoum, Natalia Muchnik, Stefania Pastore, Juan Ignacio Pulido Serrano, James B. Tueller, Olatz Villanueva Zubizarreta, Bernard Vincent, and Gerard Wiegers.

In the Iberian Peninsula and Beyond
This book is the result of two scientific encounters hosted by the University of Évora in 2012, with the theme “Muslims and Jews in Portugal and the Diaspora. Identities and Memories (16th–17th centuries)”, and co-financed by the Foundation for Science and Technology, and by FEDER, through “Eixo I” of the “Programa Operacional Fatores de Competitividade” (POFC) of QREN (COMPETE). Beginning with an analysis of the forced conversion of Iberian Jews and Muslims, this volume examines the effects of this on their respective diasporas, focusing on a variety of approaches, from language and culture to identity discourses and interchanges between those communities.

Reparative Citizenship for Sephardi Descendants
In 2015, both Portugal and Spain passed laws enabling descendants of Sephardi Jews to obtain citizenship, an historic offer of reconciliation for Jews who were forced to undergo conversions or expelled from Iberia nearly half a millennia ago.

El español hablado en Túnez por los moriscos (siglos XVII-XVIII)
La llengua espanyola parlada pels moriscs abans de ser expulsats del seu país de naixement i del dels seus avantpassats va perviure a l'exili, en una diàspora principalment establerta en països de llengua àrab governats per l'imperi turc-otomà o pel sultanat del Marroc. Aquest llibre se centra en les restes conservades d'aquesta llengua espanyola parlada en un sol país: la Tunísia actual, un territori que correspon pràcticament al mateix espai geopolític de la província de l'imperi turc-otomà durant els segles XVI-XVIII, època que constitueix el període central d'aquest estudi. La primera part analitza els testimoniatges que ens han arribat de l'existència d'aquesta llengua parlada, almenys, fins a mitjan segle XVIII. La segona, recull les restes lingüístiques que han quedat de l'espanyol dels moriscs fins al segle XX.
