Professor Isabel A. O’Connor is an Associate Professor and Chair of the
Department of History at Indiana
University South Bend. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California
at Los Angeles in December 1998. Her book, A Forgotten Community: The Mudejar
Aljama of Xątiva, 1240-1327 was published by E. J. Brill in 2002. She is the
author of several articles that examine the interaction between Muslims, Jews
and Christians in thirteenth-century Spain. Her most recent publications study
how the Christian legal system processed cases involving Mudejars and why the
conquered Muslims, who after the Christian conquests enjoyed “judicial
independence,” brought their cases against Christians, Jews, and other Mudejars
to the local Christian courts. Currently, she is writing an article about the
formation of individual and communal Mudejar identity as a response mechanism to
the colonial society established by the Christians. She is also working on a
second book about the Mudejars of Cocentaina.
