A magisterial, myth-dispelling history of Islamic Spain spanning
the millennium between the founding of Islam in the seventh century
and the final expulsion of Spain's Muslims in the seventeenth In
Kingdoms of Faith, award-winning historian Brian A. Catlos rewrites
the history of Islamic Spain from the ground up, evoking the
cultural splendor of al-Andalus, while offering an authoritative
new interpretation of the forces that shaped it. Prior accounts
have portrayed Islamic Spain as a paradise of enlightened tolerance
or the site where civilizations clashed. Catlos taps a wide array
of primary sources to paint a more complex portrait, showing how
Muslims, Christians, and Jews together built a sophisticated
civilization that transformed the Western world, even as they waged
relentless war against each other and their coreligionists.
Religion was often the language of conflict, but seldom its cause
-- a lesson we would do well to learn in our own time.
