Abstract: “Twentieth-century Sephardic authors from the former Yugoslavia: a Judeo-Spanish tradition” focuses on the preservation, adaptation, and imitation of medieval Iberian heritage - encompassing oral literature, traditions, customs, and gastronomy - among Sephardic communities in the former Yugoslavia, from the late nineteenth century through the close of the twentieth century. It seeks to illuminate the significant transformations that impacted Sephardic communities at the dawn of the twentieth century, offering a detailed examination of how these shifts influenced the Judeo-Spanish language and its oral tradition. In the former Yugoslavia, the primary Sephardic centers were located in Serbia, Bosnia, and Macedonia, with additional communities established in Croatia. By contrast with Serbia, Bosnia, and Macedonia, no Judeo-Spanish literary material has been preserved from Croatia, which is why this region is excluded from the book’s analysis.
