Review

"The richness of Casey's research places this book at the forefront of other recent publication on early modern Granada." Richard L. Kagan, Renaissance Quarterly

"Perhaps what is most rewarding about this book is precisely the balance between the local and the global. Interested in a single community (Granada) and analyzing its social history closely, Casey nevertheless engages in 'big questions'. His vision is comparativist, and his ambition wide." -Tamar Herzog, Journal of Modern History

"Casey's careful research advances our knowledge of family and urban life in early modern Spain, offering a significant contribution to a rich and growing field of inquiry." -Jodi Bilinkoff, American Historical Review

Book Description

James Casey offers an innovative study of prestige, power and the family in a Mediterranean city during the early modern period. He focuses on the structure and values of the ruling class of the frontier city of Granada and explores the enduring importance of ties of kinship, friendship and neighbourhood.
