This volume brings together nine essays that critically assess the current state of research on the evolving interrelations among Christians, Jews, Muslims, and ‘pagan’ non-Christians in late medieval and early modern Iberia, North Africa, and the emerging Atlantic world. Drawing on a range of local contexts, analytical approaches, and methodologies, two groups of essays examine how ethno-religious groups coexisted within Christian-ruled societies — while also offering provocative comparative insights into Muslim-ruled contexts. These essays explore the factors that sustained such pluralistic systems, the forces that precipitated their transformation or collapse, and how later generations interpreted these histories to shape subsequent policies. A third group focuses on the wider implications of these developments, particularly in Iberia’s expanding North African and Atlantic frontiers, where Christian agents selectively invoked shared historical experiences to construct classificatory systems used to justify the appropriation, conversion, or enslavement of non-Christian peoples. Collectively, the volume interrogates issues of diversity, inclusion, and exclusion that remain as relevant today as they were in the premodern Mediterranean.
