While all the essays from In the Light of Medieval Spain: Islam, the West, and the Relevance of the Past, ed. Simon R. Doubleday and David Coleman (Palgrave, 2008), look interesting, there are two essays of particular relevance to early modern historians:
Mary Elizabeth Perry’s “Memory and Mutilation: The Case of the Moriscos” examines the historical memories that the Moriscos forged for themselves in the context of political and religious oppression.
David Coleman’s “The Persistance of the Past in the Albaicín: Granada’s New Mosque and the Question of Historical Relevance” examines the relationship between current debates about ethnicity and religion in Granada and the medieval legacy of Granada’s religiously plural past.
