Challenges the view that that the Moriscos of Spain made little or
no attempt to assimilate to the majority Christian culture around
them, and that this led to their expulsion between 1609 and 1614.
There has been a widely-held consensus among historians that the
Moriscos of Spain made little or no attempt to assimilate to the
majority Christian culture around them, and that this apparent
obduracy made their expulsion between1609 and 1614 both necessary
and inevitable. This book challenges that view. Assimilation,
coexistence, and tolerance between Old and New Christians in early
modern Spain were not a fiction or a fantasy, but could be a
reality, made possible by the thousands of ordinary individuals who
did not subscribe to the negative vision of the Moriscos put around
by the propagandists of the government, and who had lived in peace
and harmony side by side for generations. For some, this may be a
new and surprising vision of early modern Spain, which for too
long, and thanks in large part to the Black Legend, has been
characterized as a land of intolerance and fanaticism. This book
will help to rebalance the picture and show sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century Spain in a new, infinitely richer and more
rewarding light. Trevor J. Dadson FBA is Professor of Hispanic
Studies at Queen Mary, University of London, andis currently
President of the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain &
Ireland. In 2008 he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy.
