| | Excerpts - Sicsa Reports - Crypto-Jews and the Inquisition in New Spain in the 17th Century |
 | | The forced converts (called anussim in Hebrew), were called "New Christians" to distinguish them from the "Old Christians;" they were also insultingly called "marranos," "tornadizos," and "alboraicos." In 1492, the Jews were expelled from Spain; the majority of them went to Portugal, where they were again subject to forced conversions in 1497. | | | Perhaps the largest proportion of New Christians assimilated into the general society; others continued to practice Judaism in secret, and some left the Iberian peninsula to establish new Jewish communities, or to join existing communities elsewhere. | | | For example, the tribunals of Peru and Mexico both knew of two of the "judaizantes" (those who practiced Judaism): Juan Bautista Perez (one of the most important judaizers who was burnt at the stake in Lima, Peru in 1639), and Simon Vaez Sevilla (one of the richest judaizers in Mexico). |

| | That moral unity which the Catholic Sovereigns had restored in Spain by the expulsion of the Jews, the subjection of the Moors, and the establishment of Catholic unity, was broken by the influx of ideas from the French Revolution and English Liberalism. | | | Pombal and Choiseul had driven the Jesuits out of Portugal and France, and their enemies in Spain exploited this tumult to persuade the king that the Society was a menace to public order. | | | Only the impenitent were condemned to the stake, and the number of condemnations has been much exaggerated. |

| | The election was held amid charges that Aznar made Spain a target for terrorists by supporting the war, and that his government concealed possible connections between the attack and Islamic terrorists for political gain. | | | A day after his Socialists swept Spain's ruling conservatives from power in elections overshadowed by terrorist bombings, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero also promised to lead a more pro-European government that would restore "magnificent relations" with France and Germany — which unlike Spain's outgoing government both opposed the Iraq war. | | | MADRID (AP) — Spain's incoming prime minister pledged Monday to bring Spanish troops home from Iraq unless the United Nations takes control there, harshly criticizing the U.S.-led war even as he promised to maintain good relations with Washington. |

| | Spain, it is true, rewarded the conquerors of Mexico just as nations to-day honour the victorious generals who have left in their wake devastated lands and battlefields strewn with the dead. | | | In the methods employed to organize this new empire, Spain has frequently been charged with cruelty; that there was cruelty, and at time extreme cruelty, cannot be denied. | | | While this state of continual aggression and menace delayed and impeded the development of the colony, those responsible for it were the very ones to bring forward this charge against Spain. |

| | Reacting to the rising numbers of mixed-blood (Spanish-Indian-Black African) people in its New Spain colony, the eighteenth-century Bourbon government of Spain attempted to categorize and control its colonial subjects through increasing social regulation of their bodies and the spaces they inhabited. | | | Using an interdisciplinary approach that also considers legal, literary, and religious documents of the period, Magali Carrera focuses on eighteenth-century portraiture and casta paintings to understand how the people and spaces of New Spain were conceptualized and visualized. | | | Ultimately, she concludes, the inherent ambiguity of the colonial body and its spaces brought chaos to all dreams of order. |
