Green-Mercado, Mayte. Visions of Deliverance: Moriscos and the Politics of Prophecy in the Early Modern Mediterranean. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2019.
Interrogates the production and circulation of prophecies among Muslims in the early modern Mediterranean, with specific attention to Morisco materials. The book attends to how prophecy and apocalypticism were key tools in Moriscos' resistance to forced conversion and assimilative programs, while simultaneously embedding them in a cross-cultural network of religious thought spanning the breadth of the Mediterranean. To do so, it takes up conversations in the study of religion, the Mediterranean, and apocalypticism.
