What Was the Islamic Conquest of Iberia? Understanding the New
Debate brings together leading scholars to offer an introduction to
a recent debate with far-reaching implications for the study of
history, as well as our understanding of the present. In the year
711 CE, Islamic armies conquered the Iberian Peninsula. This
seemingly uncontroversial claim has in fact been questioned,
becoming an object of intense scholarly debate, debate that has
reached a fevered pitch in recent decades within Spain. This volume
introduces an anglophone audience to the terms and contours of this
controversy, from its emergence in the late nineteenth century to
its contemporary recrudescence. It suggests that far from an
abstract discussion, this dispute reveals methodological and moral
questions that remain vital to the study of the distant past,
questions than cannot be easily resolved and have far-reaching
consequences for the present. This volume offers novel perspectives
on, not only the controversy, but also the latest research on the
events of 711. These exemplary studies of historical, literary, and
material cultural evidence demonstrate the promise and challenges
for a new generation of scholarship. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Medieval
Iberian Studies.
