For this episode, I speak with Dr. Miriam Shadis about the concept of “reconquista” perhaps the term most used in connection to medieval Spain.

For some recent work that challenges the use of reconquista, see:

Alejandro García Sanjuán, “Weaponizing Historical Knowledge: the notion of Reconquista in Spanish Nationalism”, Imago Temporis: Medium Aevum XIV (2020): 133-162.

Robert Portass, “Beyond the Reconquista: An Introductory Essay”, in Beyond the Reonquista: New Directions in the History of Medieval Iberia (711-1085) ed. by Simon Barton and Robert Portass (Brill, 2020): 1-17.
