This book examines how the Iberian empires of the early-modern period were structured around population control, segregation, and racial policies rather than nation-state characteristics.Covering a variety of topics, Schaub analyzes the idea that the political regimes of the 15th-18th centuries did not have the characteristics of contemporary nation-states. It shows that control over populations, their description and the implementation of segregation played a central role in the structuring of these political systems. The focus is on the two Iberian monarchies in the early-modern period. The reader will find both theoretical propositions of wide relevance and empirical examples as case studies. There are detailed explanations of the political regimes in the 16th and 17th centuries, based on the example of the union of the crowns of Spain and Portugal. The book presents methods of managing the diversity of populations within imperial structures. It shows that the notion of the stain (macula) played an important role in disqualifying individuals and social groups. Finally, it draws on these empirical case studies to offer a general reflection on the history of race and colonization. In short, the book shows that it is impossible to understand the political structures of the ancien régime without giving a central role to the policies of race.Political Authority, Otherness, and Race in Iberian Early Modern Societies will be of value to students and researchers who wish to gain a better understanding of the empires of the early-modern period.

Two eminent historians offer a groundbreaking study of the origins of race in early modern Western Europe, tracing its development through Enlightenment justifications of global hierarchy and colonization.Race is often thought of as an invention of the eighteenth century. In this ambitious book, the first to provide a complete origin story of race, Jean-Frédéric Schaub and Silvia Sebastiani trouble that notion, tracing the concept of race back to the roots of the Renaissance and following its evolution in succeeding centuries. Crucially, they show how race, racialization, and antisemitism developed alongside—rather than despite—the political and scientific advances of the period. Major Enlightenment thinkers advanced universalism while also taking part in debates about human origins, miscegenation, and the genealogy of race, at once advocating for equality and dividing human beings into rigid hierarchies.Beginning with early modern conceptions of “blood purity” among nobles, Schaub and Sebastiani reveal how supposed impurity developed into an elaborate system of classification that justified notions of racial superiority. Initially, impurity was exemplified by Jewish and Muslim conversos in Iberia; later, impurity became a trait associated with New World populations of mixed Spanish, African, and Indigenous ancestry. Examining the creation of racial markers, Schaub and Sebastiani demonstrate how emerging demarcations and structures of belonging were implemented across empires, often with ambiguity or contradictions.Covering more than three hundred years of transatlantic history and drawing on diverse sources, including scientific papers, artworks, and philosophical treatises, The Western Idea of Race is a revelatory account. It lays bare one of the key foundations of modern social inequality.

How the history of racism without visible differences between people challenges our understanding of the history of racial thinkingRacial divisions have returned to the forefront of politics in the United States and European societies, making it more important than ever to understand race and racism. But do we? In this original and provocative book, acclaimed historian Jean-Frédéric Schaub shows that we don't—and that we need to rethink the widespread assumption that racism is essentially a modern form of discrimination based on skin color and other visible differences. On the contrary, Schaub argues that to understand racism we must look at historical episodes of collective discrimination where there was no visible difference between people. Built around notions of identity and otherness, race is above all a political tool that must be understood in the context of its historical origins.Although scholars agree that races don't exist except as ideological constructions, they disagree about when these ideologies emerged. Drawing on historical research from the early modern period to today, Schaub makes the case that the key turning point in the political history of race in the West occurred not with the Atlantic slave trade and American slavery, as many historians have argued, but much earlier, in fifteenth-century Spain and Portugal, with the racialization of Christians of Jewish and Muslim origin. These Christians were discriminated against under the new idea that they had negative social and moral traits that were passed from generation to generation through blood, semen, or milk—an idea whose legacy has persisted through the age of empires to today.Challenging widespread definitions of race and offering a new chronology of racial thinking, Schaub shows why race must always be understood in the context of its political history.

La historia de los procesos de racializacion que marcaron la transformacion de Europa y sus colonias desde el final de la Edad Media hasta la era de las revoluciones arroja luz sobre la evolucion de la sociedad, las instituciones y las culturas. Describe el deseo de categorizar a los individuos y los grupos, de encerrarlos en identidades que se presentan como intangibles, de discriminar a colectivos dominados o incluso de organizar una opresion a gran escala contra poblaciones definidas por su raza. Son cuatro los focos que permiten trazar la linea que vertebra la historia de la raza: la nobleza de nacimiento frente al ennoblecimiento, la naturaleza judia o musulmana que persiste en la sangre de los conversos, el origen indeleble del mestizaje en la America colonial y la deshumanizacion de los africanos a traves de la trata de esclavos. Estos fenomenos son las experiencias historicas en las que se basaron los autores de la Ilustracion para clasificar a la humanidad en razas. En el Siglo de las Luces, aunque por un lado se proclamo la universalidad de los derechos humanos, por otro se jerarquizo a los grupos humanos. El siglo de los filosofos puede leerse, por ello, como fruto de una historia pasada y como fundamento de una historia inacabada, la nuestra.
