Abstract: The experience of Muslims of the pre-Modern Iberian Peninsula reflects larger transformations in European culture and society. In the 1300s Mudéjares represented a secondary but legitimate community in the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula. Yet by the early 1500s they were forced to convert, and in the early 1600s were expelled from Spain despite their official status as Christians. This talk examines the transformation from mudejar to Morisco, the impact it had on their status as a minority and the relation of this to new notions of nation and race that were developing in the Early Modern Age.
