Book Reviews expect a discussion of how Spain's Muslim and Jewish past may have affected Spaniards' encounter with non-Christians in the New World, though the aftermath of convivencia is never actually broached. Ultimately, Johnson's book admirably spans the boundaries that divide different fields of historical study in order to better understand multivalent, rather than binary, experiences of cultural encounter at the confluence of pivotal developments in the sixteenth century. yuen-gen liang Wheaton College (Massachusetts) Crime and Punishment in Istanbul: 1700­1800.
