The Sephardic Jews of Bordeaux Assimilation and Emancipation in Revolutionary and Napoleonic France

Malino's work is a welcome addition.... [She] describes very clearly the tensions that existed between the Sephardic community of Bordeaux and the Ashkenazic Jews of France [and] clearly depicts their role in the relation of the Jews with Napoleon and the forming of the Grand Sanhedrin. - Choice; ""Malino writes... in such a fashion that the whole transit of Jews to modernity is illumined."" - Christian Century; ""Malino's book is valuable to students of both the early state and Jewish history."" - American Historical Review
