Join us as Karen Graubart is a Professor of History, Romance Literatures & Languages and Gender Studies at the University of Notre Dame, discusses her recently released publication – Republics of Difference: Religious and Racial Self-Governance in the Spanish Atlantic World.

Republics of Difference: Religious and Racial Self-Governance in the Spanish Atlantic World (Oxford University Press, 2022) won the Transatlantic Studies Association Book Prize. It examines the way that units of limited self-governance—republics—shaped the ways that Muslims, Jews, and Africans in Seville and Indigenous and African peoples in Peru experienced the early modern world. It uses innovative techniques like GIS mapping as well as traditional close readings of archival sources to see how these subjects mobilized notions of difference for their own purposes.
