Contemporary Spain and Portugal share a historical experience as
Iberian states which emerged within the context of al-Andalus.
These centuries of Muslim presence in the Middle Ages became a
contested heritage during the process of modern nation-building
with its varied concepts and constructs of national identities.
Politicians, historians and intellectuals debated vigorously the
question how the Muslim past could be reconciled with the idea of
the Catholic nation. The Crescent Remembered investigates the
processes of exclusion and integration of the Islamic past within
the national narratives. It analyses discourses of historiography,
Arabic studies, mythology, popular culture and colonial policies
towards Muslim populations from the 19th century to the
dictatorships of Franco and Salazar in the 20th century. In
particular, it explores why, despite apparent historical
similarities, in Spain and Portugal entirely different strategies
and discourses concerning the Islamic past emerged. In the process,
it seeks to shed light on the role of the Iberian Peninsula as a
crucial European historical "contact zone" with Islam.
