The Mestizo Identity of The Spaniards
In the historiographical account that has prevailed so far, the Spanish early modern age has been presented as a period in which national identity would have been constructed on a unitary, homogeneous, and unanimously defended conception of the genealogical origins of the Spanish nation. A common origin, based on the idea of a pure and uncontaminated “Tubalist” or Gothic heritage, would have provided a common identity, and this identity would thu…
El conocimiento de la religiosidad islámica en la España Moderna
El estudio histórico de la religiosidad islámica se ha encontrado tradicionalmente con el problema de la escasez de fuentes. Además, siempre se ha estudiado a partir de las fuentes islámicas, obviando las cristianas. Si es cierto que para la Edad Media las fuentes cristianas no ofrecen demasiada información y están además viciadas por su carácter polémico, también lo es que para la Edad Moderna, con el surgimiento de un tipo de literatura sobre e…
Los contrarrevolucionarios y el islam
Los contrarrevolucionarios franceses de finales del XVIII y principios del XIX situaron a la Ilustración como objetivo principal de sus críticas. Según su punto de vista, ésta había socavado las bases religiosas sobre las que se asentaba la sociedad del Antiguo Régimen, lo que había llevado, en último término, a la Revolución. Entre los males que se achacaban a los philosophes estaba el de haber sentido una «predilección» hacia el islam, debido a…
La historiografía ante la correspondencia apócrifa entre los judíos de España y los de Constantinopla
The correspondence between the Jews of Spain and those of Constantinople has occupied an important place within the European anti-Jewish tradition for around four hundred years. Anti-Jewish authors have used it for centuries as a proof of the existence of a Jewish conspiracy designed to take control of the Christian society from the inside. Since the nineteenth century, the correspondence has also occupied an important place in historiography. Th…
I slamophobia
Islamophobia is hostility towards Islam and everything identified as Islamic or Islamophilic, based on the belief that Islam is an enemy, a threat that must be countered. It is not therefore a merely critical attitude towards certain precepts of the Islamic religion or certain customs prevailing in so‐called Islamic societies. Islamophobia is a form of rejection that differs from racism and religious intolerance, one with its own distinct charact…
The Genocidal Islamophobia of a Late Nineteenth-Century French Anti-Semite
This article contributes to the study of the image of Islam among French anti-Semites at the end of the nineteenth century. More specifically, it analyses D. Kimon's book La pathologie de l'islam, in which the author advocates the need to destroy Islam by annihilating one-twentieth of the world's Muslim population and subjecting the rest to a regime of semi-slavery until they finally convert to Catholicism. Various issues are analysed in the cour…
Continuity and change in anti-Jewish prejudice
One of the main elements common to both the mediaeval anti-Jewish tradition and modern antisemitism is the use of Jewish religious texts—particularly the Talmud—in order to ‘prove’ that Jews pose a threat to non-Jews. Bravo López considers how a series of anti-talmudic texts written by Sixtus of Siena in the sixteenth century were disseminated and used, up to the beginning of the twentieth century, to legitimize a threatening image of Judaism and…
Towards a definition of Islamophobia
n This paper contributes to the debate on the meaning of the term ?Islamophobia?. It proposes an examination of the early twentieth century approaches to Islamophobia, both the term and the phenomenon. The aim is to show that the phenomenon had already been identified at the end of the nineteenth century and that it had been defined by the beginning of the twentieth. That definition could throw some light on the current debate about the meaning o…
