The Disinherited: Exile and the Making of Spanish Culture, 1492-1975

Excerpt from the author's Preface: "This Folio Society volume is a specially prepared edition of the completely new study published in 1997, with the omission of a few sections of more direct interest to specialists; the bibliography and the references have been restricted to items directly relevant to my presentation. A very limited number of endnotes have been given, to justify the arguments offered. I have left monetary units in their original form (maravedis or reales), which are impossible to translate into modern equivalents, but have normally expressed their value in the more common unit of ducats, in order to facilitate comparison between periods. I have also usually translated the Spanish word Moro, which has too exotic a ring as 'Moor', by the word 'Muslim'. Written principally for the general reader, this book pays due attention to the major scholarly themes that have dominated Inquisition studies. Its conclusions, though based firmly on documentary sources, will not satisfy everybody. My aim, however, has been to go beyond polemic and present a balanced and updated synthesis of what we know about the most notorious tribunal of the western world. Like its predecessor, it is fundamentally a 'state of the question' paper and therefore still open to discussion. It is dedicated to all those who have helped us to look more dispassionately at the Holy Office of the Inquisition."
