Through the Virgin Mary, Remensnyder examines the dynamics of
Christian and non-Christian identity in the pre-modern Spanish
world. Rather than focusing on the Virgin Mary, she instead uses
the Virgin as a lens to understand how people established
identities for themselves in the contexts of domination and
devotion. The first half of the book looks at how Spanish
Christians used the Virgin's martial functions to draw lines of
demarcation between themselves and non-Christians both metaphoric
differences such as doctrinal differences and religious polemic and
physical ones of war. She could also embody religious borderlands,
the places of hybrid and fluid spiritual identities. The second
half of the book looks at how the Virgin served as a place of
passage where religious lines could be crossed through conversion.
The book considers Christian stories that depict Mary as a
particularly effective agent in the conversion of Jews, Muslims,
and natives of the Americas. The project also examines those Jews,
Muslims, and Indians who converted to Christianity: the Virgin was
a figure of power through whom they could express their new hybrid
identities.
