Conversion and Islam in the Early Modern Mediterranean: The Lure of the Other - Routledge Research in Early Modern History

Exploring the role conversion played in the fabrication of cosmopolitan Mediterranean identities, the book examines the idea of the convert as a mediator and translator between cultures.
