Contributions from history, philosophy, religion, sociology, literature, and the arts offer a new perspective on the Jewish experience in early modern and modern times: in contact and conflict, in processes of attribution and allegation, but also self-reflection and negotiation, focused on the figure of the stranger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures  Notes on Contributors    1 Introduction    Catherine Bartlett    2 “The Penitents”: Attitudes of Jewish Society to Marranos in Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth-Century Safed    Eyal Davidson    3 The African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem: A Borderline Case    Michael T.
