| Summary: | The trial of the Inquisition against Margarita Moreira allows us to see the fascinating
world of the groups of Crypto-Jews in New Spain in the 17th century. As a consequence of
political and historical developments, a large group of conversos from the Iberian Peninsula
settled in Brazil, Peru or Mexico at the time and immerse themselves in several economic
activities that brought prosperity to many of them. In the first half of the 17th century, the
Inquisition in several parts of America made a concerted effort towards making them disappear
through numerous inquisitional trials, of which Margarita Moreira ́s case is a paramount
example. |
