The New Edinburgh Islamic Surveys
Muslim Spain Reconsidered: From 711 to 1502
What made Muslim Spain a unique and successful society? Richard Hitchcock explores the background to its powerful legacy in the formation of modern Spain. Students will learn about the main historical developments in depth, such as the self-defeating independence of the Taifas, the so-called ‘Party Kings’, and the prolonged colonisation of the Muslim subject population under the increasingly severe dominance of the Kingdoms of Aragon and Castile.
