A letter in Portuguese Aljamiado by Sidi Yahya u Taᶜfuft, a Muslim Berber ally to Portugal from the region of Dukkala, Morocco. In this letter (c.1517-8) to certain Dom Nuno, he expresses the duality of his situation: "Muslims say I'm a Christian and Christians say I'm a Muslim"

We had a very interesting question in our #MLA22 session on Shakespeare and white supremacy about the racializing of non-English Europeans such as the Italians and Spanish, specifically on how tropes and discourses of Blackness were applied to them. #ShakeRace 1/

كالعادة، الجميع تحدث عن ذكرى سقوط #غرناطة: اليمين الإسباني المتطرف أحيى هذه الذكرى بكل فخر وإعتزاز بهذا التاريخ الذي أعلن عما يعتبرونه تتويجًا لما يسمونه "بحروب الإسترداد" والإنتصار النهائي الكاثوليكي الإسباني على المسلمين بعد ثمانية قرون من المواجهة،
