New Historicism is a literary theory that examines literature by placing it in its cultural and historical context. It is concerned with analyzing the literary work along with other non-literary texts that cover the same historical period. New historicism also refuses the existence of an established unquestioned record for a certain historical event. In this sense, the new historicist approach embraces the concept of multiplicity; layers of the actual historical event as well as the historical literary work. The Fall of Granada[1] (1492) is a crucial and controversial historical event that involves a variety of historical narrations of the different parties of that conflict. The present research aims at reading Ildefonso Falcones' The Hand of Fatima (2011) about the fall of Granada and the Moriscos1expulsion from a new historicist perspective. The novel offers the reader new alternative ways of thinking about the Morisos' revolt and their expulsion in 1609 as the writer refutes the established truth and the historical stability of the past. Falcones also confronts and questions the idea of cultural and ethnic homogeneity and the possession of an absolute historical truth.
