This is a revisionary study of Muslims living under Christian rule
during the Spanish 'reconquest'. It looks beyond the obvious
religious distinctions and delves into the subtleties of identity
in the thirteenth-century Crown of Aragon, uncovering a social
dynamic in which sectarian differences comprise only one of the
many factors in the causal complex of political, economic and
cultural reactions. Beginning with the final stage of independent
Muslim rule in the Ebro valley region, the book traces the
transformation of Islamic society into mudejar society under
Christian domination. This was a case of social evolution in which
Muslims, far from being passive victims of foreign colonisation,
took an active part in shaping their institutions and experiences
as subjects of the Infidel. Using a diverse range of methodological
approaches, this book challenges widely held assumptions concerning
Christian-Muslim relations in the Middle Ages, and
minority-majority relations in general.
