The Victors and the Vanquished

Focusing on the transformation of Islamic society into mudéjar society during the Spanish reconquest, this study examines the complexities of identity among Muslims under Christian rule in the thirteenth-century Crown of Aragon. It highlights the active role Muslims played in shaping their institutions and experiences, challenging the notion of them as mere victims of colonization. Through diverse methodologies, the book reevaluates Christian-Muslim relations and broader themes of minority-majority dynamics, offering a nuanced perspective on historical interactions.
