N2  - Introduces a unique and successful society, and its powerful legacy in forming modern SpainGBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup(['ISBN:9780748639601','ISBN:9780748639595','ISBN:9780748678297','ISBN:9780748678310']);What made Muslim Spain a unique and successful society? By adopting a multidisciplinary approach within a chronological framework, Richard Hitchcock explores the nature of Muslim Spain's powerful legacy in the formation of modern Spain, whilst constantly keeping in view the shifting social patterns caused by the changing balance between town and country, constant military activity and concerns about their environment.You will learn about the main historical developments in al-Andalus, such as the eventual establishment of Islam, the splendour of the Caliphate, the disintegration of central authority, the invasions from North Africa and the ongoing struggle to retain independence when confronted with the increasingly powerful Kingdoms of Aragon and Castile. You will also find wide-ranging discussions of inter-faith relations and the intellectual currents created by Spain's unique synthesis of pluralism and external influences."
