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 يسم��نه "بحروب الإسترداد" والإنتصار النهائي الكاثوليكي الإسباني على المسلمين بعد ثمانية قرون من المواجهة،
