Mary Halavais's "Like Wheat to the Miller: Community,
Convivencia, and the Construction of Morisco Identity in
Sixteenth-Century Aragon" reopens the question of the reality of
convivencia in Aragon during the 16th century in a tightly-woven
examination of two villages, B?guena and Burbaguena, in the Jiloca
valley. On the basis of notarial records, parish registers, and
ecclesiastical archives, Halavais argues that in these villages
local laity and religion made little distinction between old
Christians and new (Moriscos): These distinctions were imposed from
the outside by ecclesiastical authorities and royal agents.
Employing literature on 16th-century Spain along with archival
materials, this book provocatively posits that the marginalization
of Moriscos was imposed on localities by central authorities and
not out of antagonism in the local communities themselves.
