The first was the conquest of Granada, i.e., the last Muslim stronghold, by Castilian and Aragonese forces. The victory ended eight hundred years of Islam-ic rule. The conquest of Granada eventually also led to the conversions of many Muslims to Christianity, the phenomenon of Crypto-Islam, and the eventual expulsion of the descendants of these converts in 1609.
	~~</p>~~
	~~<p> In To~~ the ~~End~~ of ~~the Earth~~, ~~Hordes explores~~ the ~~remarkable story of crypto-~~Jews ~~and~~ the ~~tenuous preservation~~ of ~~Jewish rituals and traditions~~ in ~~Mexico and New Mexico over~~ the ~~past five hundred years~~. ~~He follows the crypto-Jews from their~~ Jewish ~~origins in medieval Spain and Portugal to their efforts to escape persecution by migrating~~ to the ~~New World~~ and ~~settling in~~ the ~~far reaches~~ of the ~~northern Mexican frontier~~.</p>		The second event was the Edict of Expulsion, which ended a thousand years of Jewish life in the Peninsula. Jews were given a choice between exile or conversion. Those who converted joined the already significant ranks of the existing Converso class, which by this time numbered in the hundreds of thousands. The Conversos, i.e., Jewish converts to Christianity typically under duress, had been at the center of a religious and political crisis that had lasted for more than a century. Many Conversos had been met with discrimination and violence as their true loyalties were often disputed.

<h2>To the End of the Earth: A History of the Crypto-Jews of New Mexico</h2>
<strong>Stanley Hordes</strong>
<p>In 1981, while working as New Mexico State Historian, Stanley M. Hordes began to hear stories of Hispanos who lit candles on Friday night and abstained from eating pork. Puzzling over the matter, Hordes realized that these practices might very well have been passed down through the centuries from early crypto-Jewish settlers in New Spain. After extensive research and hundreds of interviews, Hordes concluded that there was, in New Mexico and the Southwest, a Sephardic legacy derived from the converso community of Spanish Jews.
</p>
<p> In To the End of the Earth, Hordes explores the remarkable story of crypto-Jews and the tenuous preservation of Jewish rituals and traditions in Mexico and New Mexico over the past five hundred years. He follows the crypto-Jews from their Jewish origins in medieval Spain and Portugal to their efforts to escape persecution by migrating to the New World and settling in the far reaches of the northern Mexican frontier.</p>
