The Conversos and Moriscos in Late Medieval Spain and Beyond
Volume 1. Departures and Change
Series: - Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions, Volume: 141/1
- Converso and Morisco Studies, Volume: 141/1
Volume Editor:
Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies publications will examine the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for medieval and modern Spanish culture. As the essays in this first volume attest, the study of the Converso and Morisco phenomena is not only important for those scholars focused on Spanish society and culture, but for academics everywhere interested in the issues of identity, Otherness, nationalism, religious intolerance and the challenges of modernity.

"Recommended to both specialists and non-specialists, this collection provides a wide-ranging picture of recent scholarship on Moriscos and, more generally, of religious minorities in Spain. Ingram has done a commendable job in bringing together essays that inform common subjects [â¦] The translation work by Nicola Stapleton and William Childers is admirable." â Daniel I. Wasserman-Soler, Oberlin College, in: Sixteenth Century Journal 44/2 (2013), p. 632
"The wide scope of the analysis makes the book valuable for other scholars interested in the problems of religion, intolerance and religious minorities in the sixteenth century, establishing a very good springboard to jump into the stream of Converso and Morisco studies." â Manuel F. Fernández Chaves, University of Seville, in: Sehepunkte 11/7-8 (2011) (15.07.2011)
"An innovative approach to the conversos and moriscos themes as related socio-cultural phenomena in Spanish history. [â¦] The thoughtful editing of Kevin Ingram succeeds in producing an interrelated set of essays while allowing for individual methods and interpretations. The editor has assembled a coherent collection of essays incorporating the changing perspectives that have emerged in converso and morisco studies." â Raúl Marrero-Fente, University of Minnesota, in: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History 65/1 (January 2014), pp. 182-184
"Dans lâensemble, lâouvrage répond clairment aux objectifs de départ, volotairment restreints, en sâappuyant sut des contributions très bien documentées qui viennent enirichi lâinformation de cette insatiable hisotire des morisques et des conversos dans la Péninsule ibérique." â Edouard Sylvène, Université Lyon 3, in: Revue dâhistoire ecclésiastique
