This book explores how human interaction in the frontier zones of
the early modern Mediterranean was represented during the period,
across genres and languages. The Muslim-Christian divide in the
region produced an unusual kind of slavery, fostered a surge in
conversion to Islam and offered an ideal habitat for Catholic
martyrdom. The book argues that identities and alterities were
multiple, that there was no war between Christianity and Islam and
that commerce prevailed over ideology and dogma. Inspired by
Braudel, who asserts that 'the Mediterranean speaks with many
voices; it is a sum of individual histories', it endeavors to allow
the people of the early modern Mediterranean to speak for
themselves. -- .
