This book examines the status that rulers of one faith conferred
onto their subjects belonging to a different one, how the rulers
handled relationships with them, and the interactions between
subjects of the Muslim and Christian religions. The chronological
arc of this volume spans from the first conquests by the Arabs in
the Near East in the 630s to the exchange between Turkey and
Greece, in 1923, of the Orthodox Christians and Muslims residing in
their territories. Through organized topics, Berto analyzes both
similarities and differences in Christian and Muslim lands and
emphasizes how coexistences and conflicts took directions that were
not always inevitable. Primary sources are used to examine the
mentality of those who composed them and of their audiences. In
doing so, the book considers the nuances and all the features of
the multifaceted experiences of Christian subjects under Muslim
rule and of Muslim subjects under Christian rule. Christians under
the Crescent and Muslims under the Cross is the ideal resource for
upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars interested
in the relationships between Christians and Muslims, religious
minorities, and the Near East and the Mediterranean from the Middle
Ages to the early twentieth century.
