Opis

This book examines how race, ethnicity, and religious difference affected the concession of citizenship in the Spanish Empire's territories.

Recenzje

'In this lucidly written book, Max Deardorff explores what citizenship meant for those social actors in the early modern Spanish territories who faced degrees of exclusion due to their ethnicity and proximity to orthodox Christianity. Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Deardorff brings together the Iberian Atlantic by looking at lesser-studied regions and the people inhabiting their margins, and also, at the Spanish powerholders who moved across the two jurisdictions.' Joanne Rappaport, Georgetown University
