Course Overview

After the Inquisition was established in New Spain in 1579, clergy, officials, and citizens were investigated and imprisoned for possessing forbidden texts. We’ll examine the types of books banned and the far-reaching effects of these restrictions throughout New Spain, including the remote province of New Mexico. Delve into the personal stories of governors, nuns, and high-born women who faced intense scrutiny from the Holy Office, revealing the powerful intersection of religion, politics, and the written word during this tumultuous period.
