Racialization in the Iberian Peninsula and in the Spanish Empire: The cases of Castile and New Spain (mostly Mexico)

For this episode I reviewed María Elena Martínez’ Genealogical Fictions: Limpieza de Sangre, Religion, and Gender in Colonial Mexico as a starting point to discuss racialization in the Spanish Empire. More concretely, I explain a couple of key points regarding limpieza de sangre (blood purity) statutes and the colonial caste system. The conclusion consists of a couple of open questions – It’s an invitation for you to reflect on the topics of the episode by yourself!
P.S.: In minute 19, I said the colonization of the Americas wasn’t state-led. This isn’t exactly false, but what I meant was that the conquest wasn’t state-led.

Episode 1: Notes on Spanish history before 1532

In this episode I discuss some of the most relevant aspects of medieval and early modern Spanish history. Conrado couldn't record because he's been very busy lately. We focus on the Christian side of the peninsula and cover the infamous Reconquest, royal authority and state formation, the conquest of the Canary Islands, and more.
