The movement of these prophecies from the eastern to the western edges of the Mediterranean illuminates strategies of Morisco cultural and political resistance, reconstructing both productive and oppositional interactions and exchanges between Muslims and Christians in the early modern Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging a historiography that has primarily understood Morisco apocalyptic thought as the expression of a defeated group that was conscious of the loss of their culture and identity, Green-Mercado depicts Moriscos not simply as helpless victims of Christian oppression but as political actors whose use of end-times discourse helped define and construct their society anew. \u003ci\u003eVisions of Deliverance\u003c\/i\u003e helps us understand the implications of confessionalization, forced conversion, and assimilation in the early modern period and the intellectual and theological networks that shaped politics and identity across the Mediterranean in this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mayte Green-Mercado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501741462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501741463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Mayte Green-Mercado","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985273749759,"sku":"9781501741463","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27c48848-52aa-4b50-bff7-bdea91a80c51.jpg?v=1683276587","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visions-of-deliverance-mayte-green-mercado-9781501741463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
