Description

Focuses on specific attacks against minorities in fourteenth-century France and the Crown of Aragon. This book argues that these attacks - ranging from massacres to verbal assaults against Jews, Muslims, lepers, and prostitutes - were often perpetrated by groups that manipulated and reshaped the available discourses on minorities.
