SUMMARY:New Works Wednesdays with Edith Scott Saavedra
DESCRIPTION:New Works Wednesdays with Edith Scott Saavedra \n Edith Scott Saavedra discusses her new work “The Lamps of Albarracin.” \nWednesday\, 13 January at 12:00PM EST \nHistorical fiction author Edith Scott Saavedra explores her journey to bring alive the culture and history of Sephardic Aragon and true stories of resistance to the Spanish Inquisition by giving voice to women and girls. Inspired by traditions passed down from mother to daughter for generations\, the author would discover in the historical records episodes of resistance long suppressed by the monarchy and church in Spain\, write a historical novel in English and Spanish editions\, and set out to bring this content to students in Spain and the United States.\n“The Lamps of Albarracín” is a fictional first-person narrative by a Sephardic girl that recounts the arrival of the Spanish Inquisition into the Kingdom of Aragon in the 1480s. It is based on extensive review of Spanish Inquisition testimony and historical research. The novel gives voice to the diverse peoples of late-medieval Aragon – Jews\, Muslims\, Christians and persons of mixed heritage\, with a focus on women and true stories of tolerance and courage. It also celebrates the rich culture and traditions of multicultural Aragon in the years prior to the Expulsion of the Jews. \nEdith Scott Saavedra earned her BA and JD degrees from Harvard University. She has had a distinguished career as an international lawyer\, business consultant and nonfiction author. The Lamps of Albarracín/Los Candiles de Albarracín\, her first novel\, has received media attention throughout the Spanish speaking world\, including Radio Sefarad Madrid\, Sefarad.es\, eSefarad\, Libertad Digital\, Radio Aragón\, Semanario Hebreo and Radio Las 2 Orillas Bogotá. \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
