To read this book is to learn more about how religion dominated the lives of people, in this case, in Spain, in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. It was an ugly time, and first the Jews were forced to convert to Catholicism or face death (or exile, if they were "lucky"), and then the Muslims. Relentlessly harassed, even after conversion, these peoples who often were more learned and just basically finer people than their Catholic Spanish countrymen, cost Spain much, historically. Cruelly burned at the stake, tortured, hanged, or thrown in dungeons, these practitioners of other religions were eventually purged from the country. As all imperialists do, Spain thought it was just fine to go plunder other parts of the planet and commit genocide on the populations they stormed. I wonder what happened to all the metals plundered from the Americas and sent to enrich the nobility. Many of the rich got their ill-gotten gains from running Jews and moslems out of their homes. Just as citizens of the US, England, and Netherlands etc should, Spanish people should hang their heads in shame for the cruel histories of their countries. A well-researched and complete look into all aspects of daily life for Spaniards during the time of the Inquisition. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série éditorialeDaily Life Through History (2002)
The life of persecuted minorities, as well as that of the wealthy and the ordinary people of Spain during the Spanish Inquisition, comes alive in this illuminating account. For three and a half centuries, the Inquisition permeated every aspect of daily life in early modern Spain. This history depicts in graphic terms the dangers faced by Jews and Muslims and their suffering at the hands of the Inquisitors, as well as the struggle for survival of the lower classes and the ostentatious display of wealth of the high nobility. Set against the political, religious, social, economic, and cultural events of the time, it presents a balanced account, rich in detail, of the daily activities of the Spanish people during this period. Each chapter offers a succinct perspective of life during early modern Spain, covering the political and social setting, the Church, the Inquisition, Jews and Conversos, Muslims and Moriscos, the court, urban and rural life, family life, clothes and fashions, food, arts and entertainment, military life, education, and health and medicine. All these aspects of life are discussed in the context of a society experiencing profound internal conflicts arising from matters of religion, class, gender, and ethnic prejudice. Interwoven in the text is a discussion of relevant political and economic events that helped to shape the times, as well as comments from both contemporary Spanish writers and foreign visitors who witnessed firsthand the conditions and attitudes of the people. More than 40 illustrations, a timeline of important events, a list of Spanish rulers during the centuries of the Inquisition, a glossary, and a bibliography add value to the narrative.
