The Inquisition case of a Muslim slave woman in sixteenth-century Spain who was named both "Fatima" and "Ana" challenges assumptions that historians must leave in silent obscurity disenfranchised people for whom we have very few and very problematic sources. This essay presents a three-part methodological strategy for analyzing the single document available about this woman: contextualizing it with secondary and primary sources specific to her life; reading the document "against the grain"; and analyzing it with insights from anthropology, politics, and cultural and literary criticism. Although a cleric reported that Fatima/Ana had converted to Christianity in a hospital while ill with the plague, she denied after her recovery that she had been baptized and insisted that she was and would continue to be a Muslim. If she had in fact converted while in the hospital, she argued, it could only have been because she was "crazy and without sanity and without judgment." Her case illustrates the complexities of identity and the vulnerabilities of minority slave women, yet it also demonstrates that disenfranchised people develop strategies to empower themselves and challenge official power.

Los moriscos experimentaron una política religiosa en la España de los siglo XVI y XVII que a la vez les empoderaba y les desempoderaba. Mientras las autoridades cristianas usaron de manera creciente la ortodoxia religiosa para definir el nuevo estado emergente, los moriscos se volvieron hacia sus hogares donde preservaron muchas prácticas de su identidad hispano-musulmana. La documentación de archivo y la literatura del periodo revelan el liderazgo de muchas mujeres moriscas en esta resistencia doméstica. ; Moriscos experienced a politics of religion in 16th and 17th- century Spain that both empowered and disempowered them. As Christian authorities increasingly used religious orthodoxy to define their newly emerging state, Moriscos withdrew into their homes where they preserved many practices of their Hispano-Muslim identity. Archival documents and writings of the period reveal the leading roles that many morisco women played in this domestic resistance.
