This essay examines the meaning, uses and extension of the concepts 'native' and 'foreigner' in both Spain and Spanish America during the Early Modern period. It argues: i. that the distinction between natives and foreigners was not always important, not even relevant; ii. that discussions regarding these categories only happened when actors identified particular interests that they were willing to defend; iii. that nativeness and foreignness were not concrete situations but instead reflected the existence of a continuum that connected those totally native and those totally foreign, through a wide range of intermediary situations; iv. that the discourse regarding foreignness was also applied to those we currently identify as minorities in order to discriminate against them
