À propos de cette écoute
Scholars, journalists, and politicians uphold Muslim-ruled medieval Spain - "al-Andalus" - as a multicultural paradise, a place where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived in harmony.
There is only one problem with this widely accepted account: It is a myth.
In this groundbreaking book, Northwestern University scholar Darío Fernández-Morera tells the full story of Islamic Spain. The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise shines light on hidden features of this medieval culture by drawing on an abundance of primary sources that scholars have ignored, as well as archaeological evidence only recently unearthed.
As professors, politicians, and pundits continue to celebrate Islamic Spain for its "multiculturalism" and "diversity", Fernández-Morera sets the record straight - showing that a politically useful myth is a myth nonetheless.

The amount of documentation provided.
I was really impressed with the amount of cross references between Muslim,Arab, visigoth and christian accounts, laws, judgements.... I am a Spanish citizen and it surprises me that since I was young, always defended that the Europeans were not "civilized" until the invasion. I realize now that if the reconquista didn't take place Spain would feel, like Morocco. Cervantes and the golden Spanish age in the arts, wouldn't have taken place. It makes you realize how you should not accept interpretations of events, but read, investigate the sources of the time, archeology and compare opposing sources to get a realistic picture of reality.
