People living in frontier cities bore much of the cost of war against Granada and faced the greatest risk of retaliation, but had to reconcile an ideology of holy war with the genuine admiration many felt for individual members of other religious groups. After a century of near-continuous truces, a series of political transformations in Castile—including those brought about by the civil wars of Enrique IV''s reign, the final war with Granada, and Fernando and Isabel''s efforts to reestablish royal authority—incited a broad reaction against religious minorities. As Thomas Devaney shows, this active hostility was triggered by public spectacles that emphasized the foreignness of Muslims, Jews, and recent converts to Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnemies in the Plaza\u003c\/i\u003e traces the changing attitudes toward religious minorities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Thomas Devaney offers an engaging and accomplished analysis of public theater and spectacle on the frontier of fifteenth-century Castile, with richly textured descriptions of individual theatrical performances and judicious discussions of medieval culture wars.\" * Simon Doubleday, Hofstra University *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e PART I\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1.
