Abstract

In this panoramic history of Islamic culture in early Europe, a Pulitzer Prize winning historian re-examines what we thought we knew. Lewis reveals how cosmopolitan, Muslim al-Andalus flourished--a beacon of cooperation and tolerance between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity--while proto-Europe made virtues out of hereditary aristocracy, religious intolerance, perpetual war, and slavery.--From publisher description.

Abstract

Is the history of the modern world the history of Europe writ large? Or is it possible to situate the history of modernity as a world historical process apart from its origins in Western Europe? In this posthumous collection of essays, Marshall G. S. Hodgson challenges adherents of both Eurocentrism and multiculturalism to rethink the place of Europe in world history. He argues that the line that connects Ancient Greeks to the Renaissance to modern times is an optical illusion, and that a global and Asia-centred history can better locate the European experience in the shared histories of humanity. Hodgson then shifts the historical focus and in a parallel move seeks to locate the history of Islamic civilisation in a world historical framework. In so doing he concludes that there is but one history - global history - and that all partial or privileged accounts must necessarily be resituated in a world historical context. The book also includes an introduction by the editor, Edmund Burke, contextualising Hodgson's work in world history and Islamic history.

Abstract

Through crusades and expulsions, Muslim communities survived for over 500 years, thriving in medieval Europe. This comprehensive study explores how the presence of Islamic minorities transformed Europe in everything from architecture to cooking, literature to science, and served as a stimulus for Christian society to define itself. Combining a series of regional studies, Catlos compares the varied experiences of Muslims across Iberia, southern Italy, the Crusader Kingdoms and Hungary to examine those ideologies that informed their experiences, their place in society and their sense of themselves as Muslims. This is a pioneering new narrative of the history of medieval and early modern Europe from the perspective of Islamic minorities; one which is not, as we might first assume, driven by ideology, isolation and decline, but instead one in which successful communities persisted because they remained actively integrated within the larger Christian and Jewish societies in which they lived.

Abstract

Le réveil est brutal. L’Europe somnolait sur son passé et sur ce qu’elle croyait acquis à tout jamais. Voilà que lui revient en boomerang une affaire qu’elle croyait avoir réglée une fois pour toutes, depuis les temps, ô combien lointains! de la bataille de Poitiers et ceux, plus récents, de la bataille de Lépante à laquelle elle associait toujours le nom de Cervantès.L’Islam est de nouveau présent, non plus du fait de la conquête militaire mais de l’arrivée par vagues successives d’une population musulmane qui s’installe. Notre société, jusqu’à maintenant, n’avait pas pris tellement en compte cette situation.Les problèmes sont là et se feront chaque année, plus compliqués, plus ardus à résoudre.Au durcissement de la foi de certaines couches de la population musulmane répond une douce tiédeur de nos croyances chrétiennes ancestrales que nous sommes même parfois honteux de reconnaître.Que faire, sinon reprendre notre histoire, étudier les relations culturelles qui se sont établies entre chrétiens et musulmans dès le Moyen Âge.Notre propos aujourd’hui est de revenir aux sources des religions chrétienne et musulmane et de reprendre les discussions théologiques et philosophiques qui ont eu lieu dès le Moyen Âge.Quels sont les points où il y a divergence fondamentale entre chrétiens et musulmans?
