"Escribano-Páez has delivered an important contribution to understanding the early development of Spanish administration on imperial frontiers, and it is a particularly significant next step in the advancement of the histories of Spanish-North Africa and Navarra."

"Escribano-Páez takes us on a journey that allows us to re-evaluate the Mediterranean frontier not as an aseptic zone, but as an important laboratory of experiences, practices and norms with which to rethink the history of the empires of the early modern age through the eyes of those who acted on the ground."

"From Andalusia to the Maghreb, from the Pyrenees to the Eastern Mediterranean, Rena's life story helps Escribano-Páez to show that, in contrast to certain triumphalist and outdated visions of Hispanic hegemony, the greatest challenge facing the Monarchy in the early 16th century was not so much to conquer as to develop strategies that would guarantee the maintenance of its new possessions."
