In this well-researched and scholarly book, Roitman takes issue with standard histories that attribute the commercial success of Sephardic merchants in 17th century Amsterdam to their business and trading relationships with family members and other Sephardic merchants. Based on her in-depth study of the activities of three representative Sephardim, as well as a random sample of non-Sephardim, the author argues that Sephardic fortunes were instead based on the cultivation of what she calls "loose ties"--multi-ethnic economic networks made up of non-Jewish merchants--that were formed as the result of movement, travel, and resettlement. An excellent book that sheds much new light on an important trading community, this volume will be of great interest to scholars of Jewish history and the history of international trade.
