Host Luka Haeberle discusses modern Peruvian history as well as Peru’s entanglement with the rest of the world. Understandable for those with new-found interest for the subject, but nevertheless exciting for the well-versed listener.

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.

In this episode I discuss some of the most relevant aspects of medieval and early modern Spanish history. 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.
