A Man Of Three Worlds by Mercedes García-Arenal
A richly researched biography of Samuel Pallache, a Sephardic Jewish merchant-diplomat from Morocco who in the early seventeenth century moved fluidly among Muslim North Africa, Christian Europe and the Jewish diasporic world; the book traces how he brokered diplomatic ties between Morocco and the Dutch Republic, combined trade, privateering and negotiation, and used multilingual networks and legal savvy to survive and prosper, offering a portrait of mobility, identity and entangled power in the early modern Atlantic.
