Creating Christian Granada provides a richly detailed examination of a critical and transitional episode in Spain's march to global empire. The city of Granada—Islam's final bastion on the Iberian peninsula—surrendered to the control of Spain's "Catholic Monarchs" Isabella and Ferdinand on January 2, 1492. Over the following century, Spanish state and Church officials, along with tens of thousands of Christian immigrant settlers, transformed the formerly Muslim city into a Christian one.With constant attention to situating the Granada case in the broader comparative contexts of the medieval reconquista tradition on the one hand and sixteenth-century Spanish imperialism in the Americas on the other, Coleman carefully charts the changes in the conquered city's social, political, religious, and physical landscapes. In the process, he sheds light on the local factors contributing to the emergence of tensions between the conquerors and Granada's formerly Muslim, "native" morisco community in the decades leading up to the crown-mandated expulsion of most of the city's moriscos in 1569–1570.Despite the failure to assimilate the moriscos, Granada's status as a frontier Christian community under construction fostered among much of the immigrant community innovative religious reform ideas and programs that shaped in direct ways a variety of church-wide reform movements in the era of the ecumenical Council of Trent (1545–1563). Coleman concludes that the process by which reforms of largely Granadan origin contributed significantly to transformations in the Church as a whole forces a reconsideration of traditional "top-down" conceptions of sixteenth-century Catholic reform.

The Sacrament of Penance and Religious Life in Golden Age Spain explores the practice of sacramental confession in Spain between roughly 1500 and 1700. One of the most significant points of contact between the laity and ecclesiastical hierarchy, confession lay at the heart of attempts to bring religious reformation to bear upon the lives of early modern Spaniards. Rigid episcopal legislation, royal decrees, and a barrage of prescriptive literature lead many scholars to construct the sacrament fundamentally as an instrument of social control foisted upon powerless laypeople. Drawing upon a wide range of early printed and archival materials, this book considers confession as both a top-down and a bottom-up phenomenon. Rather than relying solely upon prescriptive and didactic literature, it considers evidence that describes how the people of early modern Spain experienced confession, offering a rich portrayal of a critical and remarkably popular component of early modern religiosity.

Located in Spain's southeastern corner, Granada stood as Islam's last bastion on the Iberian peninsula until conquered in 1492 by the armies of Isabella and Ferdinand. For nearly eight decades following the conquest, Granada remained a city divided between its "native" morisco community (formerly Muslim converts to Christianity) and the Christian immigrants who streamed into the city from other areas of Spain. Mounting ethnic tensions culminated in 1568-1569 with the rebellion, defeat, and expulsion of the moriscos from the city. This dissertation examines the creation of a new local Christian religious culture in the conquered city. Using previously unexploited local archival sources, this dissertation identifies the principal customs and devotions that characterized the religious lives of Granada's residents. By examining the development of these elements of the city's religious culture, this study asserts two arguments, and, through these arguments, suggests new approaches to the understanding of Church-wide Catholic reform movements in the sixteenth century. First, while previous histories subordinate the Granadan story to grand narratives concerning the rise of Spanish absolutism and Church authority, this dissertation places the primary impetus for the growth of the city's new religious culture within the local Christian immigrant community itself. This study demonstrates that the Christian immigrants' frontier society was subject to little oversight from crown and Church authority for most of the period under study. Granada's new local Christian culture grew instead through lay initiative, and in ways that reflected not only the city's ethnic conflicts, but also cultural exchanges between moriscos and immigrants as well as social tensions within the immigrant community itself. Second, this dissertation argues that the creation of Christian Granada conditioned the production of Church-wide Catholic reform, particularly through the decrees of the Council of Trent (1545-1563). The construction of a new local Christian culture among Granada's immigrants involved various lay demands for a reformed and more active local clergy. Reform-minded clergymen in Granada responded with programs that not only reshaped local practice, but also prefigured in fundamental ways the Church-wide reforms mandated by the Council of Trent. By tracing the translation of Granadan reforms into Church-wide policy through the council, this dissertation argues that the creation of Christian Granada constitutes a significant example of the cycles of dialogue and negotiation that underlay early modern religious reform. Granada offers, in short, a case-study illustration of a dynamic model of cultural reform programs in general--a model which takes into account the centrality of localized systems of meaning to broader processes of cultural change.

Mexico of five centuries ago was witness to one of the most momentous encounters between human societies, when a group of Spaniards led by Hernando Cortés joined forces with tens of thousands of Mesoamerican allies to topple the mighty Aztec Empire. It served as a template for the forging of much of Latin America and initiated the globalized world we inhabit today. The violent clash that culminated in the Aztec-Spanish war of 1519-21 and the new colonial order it created were millennia in the making, entwining the previously independent cultural developments of both sides of the Atlantic. Collision of Worlds provides a deep history of this encounter, one that considers temporal depth in the richly layered cultures of Mexico and Spain, from their prehistories to the urban and imperial societies they built in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Leading Mesoamerican archaeologist David Carballo offers a unique perspective on these fabled events with a focus on the physical world of places and things, their similarities and differences in trans-Atlantic perspective, and their interweaving in an encounter characterized by conquest and colonialism, but also resilience on the part of Native peoples. An engrossing and sweeping account, Collision of Worlds debunks long-held myths and contextualizes the deep roots and enduring consequences of the Aztec-Spanish conflict as never before.

James Casey offers an innovative study of prestige, power and the role of the family in a Mediterranean city during the early modern period. He focuses on the structure and values of the ruling class of Granada, where a new elite consolidated its authority. The study suggests that their power was linked to the pursuit of honour, which demanded participation in the politics of the commonwealth and depended greatly on the network of personal relations which they were able to build with kinsmen, clients and patrons. It explores the way in which this system contributed to the relative tranquillity of the community during a turbulent time of religious and political change, that of the rise of absolutism and of the Counter Reformation. The book sheds fresh light on the nature of the early modern family and will be essential reading for historians of early modern Spain and Europe.
