{"product_id":"ideology-and-inquisition-martin-austin-nesvig-9780300140408","title":"Ideology and Inquisition: The World of the Censors in Early Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first comprehensive treatment in English of the ideology and practice of the Inquisitional censors, focusing on the case of Mexico from the 1520s to the 1630s. Others have examined the effects of censorship, but Martin Nesvig employs a nontraditional approach that focuses on the inner logic of censorship in order to examine the collective mentality, ideological formation, and practical application of ideology of the censors themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNesvig shows that censorship was not only about the regulation of books but about censorship in the broader sense as a means to regulate Catholic dogma and the content of religious thought. In Mexico, decisions regarding censorship involved considerable debate and disagreement among censors, thereby challenging the idea of the Inquisition as a monolithic institution. Once adapted to cultural circumstances in Mexico, the Inquisition and the Index produced not a weapon of intellectual terror but a flexible apparatus of control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Austin Nesvig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300140401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300140408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010","brand":"Martin Austin Nesvig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013721633023,"sku":"9780300140408","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3bf35a9-9799-4568-90f3-72a7ee88ad03.jpg?v=1767744360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ideology-and-inquisition-martin-austin-nesvig-9780300140408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
