Description: Marranos on the Moradas by Norman Simms Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The Penitentes are a lay Catholic brotherhood that practised bloody rites of self-flagellation and crucifixion. Marranos claim to be anousim. This book redefines the terms and creates contexts in which these groups are viewed with respect and sympathy without idealising or slandering them. Publisher Description Two groups were persecuted over the course of four hundred years in what is now the southwestern United States, each dissimulating and disguising who they truly were. Both now declare their true identities, yet raise hostility. The Penitentes are a lay Catholic brotherhood that practices bloody rites of self-flagellation and crucifixion, but claim this is a misrepresentation and that they are a community and a charitable organization. Marranos, an ambiguous and complicated population of Sephardic descendants, claim to be anousim. Both peoples have a complex, shared history. This book disentangles the web, redefines the terms, and creates new contexts in which these groups are viewed with respect and sympathy without idealizing or slandering them. Simms uses rabbinics, literary analyses, psychohistory, and cultural anthropology to consolidate a history of mentalities.
