| americo castro: Americo Castro and the Meaning of Spanish Civilization José R. Barcia, Selma Margaretten, 2023-04-28 Americo Castro and the Meaning of Spanish Civilization offers a systematic exploration of Castro's ideas, organized to trace the evolution and impact of his theories on Spanish history and culture. More than a typical Festschrift or homage, the book brings together contributions from scholars, friends, and former students who engaged closely with Castro’s work. Their essays are intended to provide English-speaking audiences with insights into Castro’s unique interpretations of Iberian civilization, emphasizing the distinctiveness of Spanish culture’s contributions to Western history. The book includes Castro's seminal lecture, The Meaning of Spanish Civilization, a pivotal work that laid the groundwork for many of his later theories. The collection begins with Castro's 1940 Princeton lecture, followed by Guillermo Araya Goubet's essay The Evolution of Castro's Theories, which charts the development of Castro’s thoughts and ideas, highlighting their innovative aspects. Stephen Gilman’s Literature and Historical Insight rounds out the volume with an examination of Castro’s critical work on El Libro de Buen Amor, bringing Castro's historical and literary analysis into a broader context. These essays, along with additional pieces from other contributors, aim to offer a cohesive view of Castro's enduring legacy and scholarly influence on both historical and cultural studies. Gratitude is extended to many individuals and institutions for supporting this publication, including Castro’s family, who provided permissions and materials, and the Del Amo Foundation, which helped make the project possible. The combined efforts of translators, editors, and Castro’s close colleagues ensured that his complex ideas could be conveyed effectively to a new audience. The book serves both as a tribute to Castro and as an accessible introduction to his profound insights into the Spanish-speaking world’s unique cultural identity.

| americo castro: The Spaniards Americo Castro, 2024-06-21 This ambitious book by Américo Castro is not simply a history of the Spanish people or culture. It is an attempt to create an entirely new understanding of Spanish society. The Spaniards examines how the social position, religious affiliation, and beliefs of Christians, Moors, and Jews, together with their feelings of superiority or inferiority, determined the development of Spanish identity and culture. Castro follows how españoles began to form a nation beginning in the thirteenth century and became wholly Spanish in the sixteenth century in a different way and under different circumstances than other peoples of Western Europe. The original material of this book (chapters II through XII) was translated by Willard F. King, and the newly added material (preface, chapters I, XIII, and XIV, and appendix) was translated by Selma Margaretten.

| americo castro: Sephardism Yael Halevi-Wise, 2012-04-11 In this book, Sephardism is defined not as an expression of Sephardic identity but as a politicized literary metaphor. Since the nineteenth century, this metaphor has occurred with extraordinary frequency in works by authors from a variety of ethnicities, religions, and nationalities in Europe, the Americas, North Africa, Israel, and even India. Sephardism asks why Gentile and Jewish writers and cultural figures have chosen to draw upon the medieval Sephardic experience to express their concerns about dissidents and minorities in modern nations? To what extent does their use of Sephardism overlap with other politicized discourses such as orientalism, hispanism, and medievalism, which also emerged from a clash between authoritarian, progressive, and romantic ideologies? This book brings a new approach to Sephardic Studies by situating it at a crossroads between Jewish Studies and Hispanic Studies in ways that enhance our appreciation of how historical fiction and political history have shaped, and were shaped by, historical attitudes toward Jews and their representation. |

| americo castro: Kingdoms of Faith Brian A. Catlos, 2018 Prior accounts have portrayed Islamic Spain either as a paradise of enlightened tolerance, or as the site where civilisations clashed. Award-winning historian Brian A. Catlos taps a wide array of original sources to paint a more complex picture, showing how Muslims, Christians, and Jews together built a sophisticated civilisation that transformed the Western world, even as they waged relentless war against each other and amongst themselves. Religion was often the language of conflict, but seldom its cause--a lesson we would do well to learn in our own time.Kingdoms of Faith rewrites Spain's Islamic past from the ground up, evoking the cultural splendour of al-Andalus and the many forces that shaped it. |

| americo castro: Converso Non-Conformism in Early Modern Spain Kevin Ingram, 2018-12-06 This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored. |
