The Disinherited: The exiles who created spanish culture

Spain has had a long history of exiles. Since the destruction of the last Muslim territories in Granada in 1492, wave after wave of its people have been driven from the country. nbsp; The Disinherited paints a vivid picture of Spain rsquo;s diverse exiles, from Muslims, Jews and Protestants to Liberals, Socialists and Communists, artists, writers and musicians.nbsp;Kamen describes the ways in which many of these expelled citizens have shaped Spanish culture ndash; or impoverished it by leaving ndash; and enriched their adopted homes through their creative responses to exile and to encounters with new worlds, Picasso, Miroacute;, Dali and Buntilde;uel among them. Henry Kamenrsquo;s compelling and sympathetic account tells the story of their incalculable impact on the world.
