Heretics Or Daughters of Israel?
Between 1391 and the end of the 15th century, numerous Spanish Jews converted to Christianity, most of them under duress. Before and after 1492, when the Jews were officially expelled from Spain, a significant number of these conversos maintained clandestine ties to Judaism, despite their outward conformity to Catholicism. Through the lens of the Inquisition's own records, this groundbreaking study focuses on the crypto-Jewish women of Castile, demonstrating their central role in the perpetuation of crypto-Jewish society in the absence of traditional Jewish institutions led by men. Renee Levine Melammed shows how many "conversas" acted with great courage and commitment to perpetuate their religious heritage, seeing themselves as true daughters of Israel. Her fascinating book sheds new light on the roles of women in the transmission of Jewish traditions and cultures.

The impact of the Supreme Courts on the development of Labour Law in Europe
This collective book focuses on the case law or jurisprudence of the Supreme Courts and tries to provide a balanced comparative view on how it has influenced the development of the legal systems across Europe, within the specific area of labour law. -- Through the analysis of leading cases and judgments from the respective top-level courts of the 12 national jurisdictions examined (France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Ukraine and United Kingdom), it allows not only to assess the situation and the particular features on the matter in each country, but to draw up an overall picture, to identify common trends and --more specifically-- to emphasise how the case law of the Supreme Courts has an already consolidated and growing role in the shaping of labour law in the whole European context -- page 4 of cover
Contract, Labour Law and the Realities of Working Life
This book offers a critical and timely account of how labour law has become a means for protecting employers rather than workers. The past few decades have witnessed something of a ‘silent revolution’ in the traditional protective role that labour law has played in the lives of workers. While this transformation has been overt in the realm of the market and at the level of the legislature, the role of the judiciary in this process remains significantly under-studied. Focussing on Australia, but drawing also on material from New Zealand, the UK and Canada, this book investigates how the common law has intervened to shape labour law in the image of commercial contract, determining disputes...
The Jesuits and Religious Intercultural Management in Early Modern Times
This book discusses the role of human capital and a global mindset for a successful intercultural management of the Society of Jesus in the geographical contexts of Japan and Peru during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Historical data for more than 200 Jesuits has been evaluated and analyzed according to modern management theory. The work is, therefore, an interdisciplinary study related to the history of religious orders, European expansion, and trans- or intercultural management and shows how the Jesuit missionaries in Japan and Peru were able to achieve and stimulate a successful expansion of their order’s influence in these regions of the world. While analyzing a historical topic, the book is also of interest to modern day managers and those who are interested in creating a successful strategy for intercultural management.
