"Kamen's outstanding gifts as a historian are evident on every page. He sifts evidence with a vivid yet critical eye; his thinking is unfettered.... He handles language beautifully and economically.... The result is an alternative history of Spain from a perspective never before attempted." -Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Literary Review
"The eminent historian of Spain Henry Kamen has now written an encyclopedic history of the Spanish diaspora.... The Disinherited helps to explain some of the paradoxes of today's democratic, European Spain. And it carries a hopeful, if indirect, message for anyone who doubts whether a historically divided and self-mutilating country can ever fully transform itself." -Jeremy Treglown, Financial Times
