Professor Max Deardorff was awarded a publication subvention for his book A Tale of Two Granadas: Custom, Community, and Citizenship in the Spanish Empire, 1568-1668, which examines the vast, trans-Atlantic transformation of political ideas about subjecthood that ultimately allowed some indigenous colonial subjects and their progeny at the end of the sixteenth century to establish urban citizenship alongside Spaniards in the colonial settlements of what is now Colombia. Responding a generation of colonial history characterized by “blood purity” exclusivism, activists of the period insisted on a more inclusive regime of rights and privileges that opened the door to colonial subjects who assimilated as Christians.
