The Marrano Factory
First published in Portuguese in 1969, this is the only work by Antonio Jose Saraiva available in English and the only single-volume history devoted primarily to the working of the Portuguese Inquisition, a most lucid and compact survey. "The Marrano Factory" argues that the Portuguese Inquisition s stated intention of extirpating heresies and purifying Portuguese Catholicism was a monumental hoax; the true purpose of the Holy Office was the fabrication rather than the destruction of "Judaizers."
The Same But Different?
Using cutting-edge theory regarding trade networks and diaspora, this book offers an innovative analysis of Sephardic merchants in 17th c. Amsterdam’s trade. Challenging views that Sephardic success stemmed from endogamous business relationships, it shows that Sephardic merchants traded with non-Sephardim.
The Faith of Remembrance
In a series of intimate and searing portraits, Nathan Wachtel traces the journeys of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Marranos—Spanish and Portuguese Jews who were forcibly converted to Catholicism but secretly retained their own faith. Fleeing persecution in their Iberian homeland, some sought refuge in the Americas, where they established transcontinental networks linking the New World to the Old. The Marranos—at once Jewish and Christian, outsiders and insiders—nurtured their hidden beliefs within their new communities, participating in the economic development of the early Americas while still adhering to some of the rituals and customs of their ancestors.

After the Revolution
The contributors to this book attempt to describe, analyze, and interpret the literary events and practices that characterize the two decades of Portuguese political and cultural life after the 1974 revolution.

O discurso engenhoso
Os estudos de Antonio José Saraiva sobre a cultura lusitana têm se desenvolvido sob o impulso de uma renovação constante, constituindo-se numa das mais importantes contribuições contemporâneas no domínio da história, da literatura e da crítica no mundo de língua portuguesa. E a coletânea de trabalhos aqui reunidos é um exemplo notável deste fato. Utilizando-se dos recentes desenvolvimentos na reflexão e na análise estruturais e literárias, 'O Discurso Engenhoso' focaliza sob novos ângulos a retórica da fala sermonária de Viera, o seu 'discurso lexicológico', à luz das relações entre coisa e texto, e as 'sutilezas' do 'engenho' barroco em Gracián e Peregrini. Assim, este livro da Coleção Debates é de serventia indiscutível para todos aqueles que se dedicam à tarefa de investigar e estudar o modo de ser e a estética do discurso na literatura vernácula.
