Puritan Conquistadors: Iberianizing the Atlantic, 1550-1700

Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra (Mellon Fellow, 2003-04)

The book demonstrates that a wider Pan-American perspective can upset the most cherished national narratives of the United States, for it maintains that the Puritan colonization of New England was as much a chivalric, crusading act of Reconquista (against the Devil) as was the Spanish conquest.
