Editorial Reviews

Review

This work adds a crucial perspective to the growing body of scholarship that challenges the conception of a fixed, monolithic Morisco identity and the perception that Moriscos were a beleaguered group in need of rescue. Visions of Deliverance offers readers a fresh perspective on Morisco social, religious, and political beliefs and practices.

― Comitatus

Moriscos stand tall in this book as historical agents (both individually and collectively), actors on a political world stage, some with dreams of an Ottoman Last World Emperor, others of a French; some with dreams of a return of Islam to Al-Andalus, others with the hope of being able to live peacefully 'under their own law.' With Visions of Deliverance, Mayte Green-Mercado has made a significant contribution to Mediterranean history. There is much in this excellent book that will be new to both experts and students alike

― SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL

This excellent book should find a ready audience in readers interested in Morisco history and culture, and in prophetic and political discourse in early modern Islam, Iberia, and the Mediterranean as a whole.

― Visions of Deliverance

Mayte Green-Mercado's study of the political valence of prophecy for a repressed minority is a major contribution. With its extensive use of archival sources from across the Mediterranean and in a variety of languages, the book refines and indeed transforms our understanding of prophecies as "mobilization discourses" among the Moriscos thereby restoring agency and political determination to an understudied community.

― Journal of Modern History

Review

Visions of Deliverance is of high quality, based on extensive research and clearly written. It utilizes both inquisitorial records, heretofore the main source for our understanding of the Moriscos, as well as the aljamiado literature to make a strong case for the importance of prophecies in shaping and defining an unstable Morisco population.

-- Ben Ehlers, University of Georgia
