In a post in another group, I wrote that "I am willing to stand corrected, but I believe that [R. Marc Angel's] 'La America' was the first book-length synthetic treatment of the Judeo-Spanish experience in the United States." The response was so rude that I no longer wish to engage there. However, if I am unaware of an older book on this subject, I would like both to know of it and read it. So, what do you got folks? I already know about R. de Sola Pool's contemporary articles around the time of the Balkan wars, and Louis M. Hacker's 9-page piece from a few years later. I also know about Rabbi Angel's 1974 study that preceded "La America." What I'm asking about is whether there is any whole book devoted to the history of Judeo-Spanish Jews in the US before 1982.
