I investigate migration, social categorization, membership regimes, and identification in colonial Latin America. In my research, I have also dealt with transnational merchant networks, technological transmission, the formation of an association between foreigners and Protestant heresy in colonial Mexico, and simulation strategies and ways of resilience. I have predominantly been interested in tracing how the foreigner category was shaped during the 16th and 17th centuries.
I hold a Ph.D. in History from Pablo de Olavide University in Seville, Spain, in 2016 (financed by CSIC, the Spanish National Research Council). My dissertation was about Dutch and German labor and merchant migration in colonial Mexico.
Currently, I have a project about economic warfare, where I research economic reprisals against European foreigners in the Spanish colonies during the 17th century (financed by VR, the Swedish Research Council). I have also been granted a new VR project on the effects of State action on social categorization processes in colonial Latin America.

This article examines the Indies’ significant role in Spain’s economic warfare during Philip IV’s reign. It challenges the perception of the American territories as peripheral participants, emphasizing their central involvement in the General Reprisal against the French during the Franco-Spanish War. The study reveals interconnected policies between the Indies and European territories, the adaptations of the reprisal scheme to suit the American settings, and the consideration of each territory’s unique conditions. It also highlights the importance of the French mercantile community in Seville, their integration into the Atlantic trade, and their strategies to recover property in the American territories. Additionally, the article analyzes the introduction of rogation days in the Indies as a complementary measure, serving as a propaganda tool to otherize the French, influence public opinion, and shape perceptions of foreignness. Overall, the research enhances our understanding of Spain’s economic warfare strategies and their global impact.

Comunidad, pertenencia, extranjería reveals the central role played by labour and mercantile migration from the North Sea region in the Viceroyalty of New Spain during a critical period in the formation of colonial societies. Far from being a marginal migration, as has been believed until now, the presence of northern migrants was strategic for the expansion and maintenance of the Hispanic monarchy due to their contribution of labour, technological knowledge, commercial networks, and transnational capital. From the cross-sectional analysis of the impact of this migration on the society, politics, and economy of New Spain, this work shows how it is impossible to tell the story of the Spanish empire without taking into account the role that non-Spanish Europeans played in its formation and evolution.
