À propos de cet audio

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.

A great listen. Some of the descriptions of Islamic jurisprudence were truly shocking. Well worth it.

Very interesting

Important sobering addition to our knowledge about life of Jews and Christians under Islamic rule. The book is well sourced, with many quotes and historical records that effectively rebut the panglossian view of that era as a kind of convivial multi-cultural utopia. Sets the record straight on a few fronts: the fabled tolerance, the flowering of science and poetry, the architectural marvels.

The narrator does a good enough job but makes occasional mistakes pronouncing Hebrew words and names. He's much better in repeating the Spanish and Arabic names.

Highly informative read

This is a nice balance between academic and popular historical analysis. He provides a lot of evidence to support his positions, and his arguments are clear.

This is a biased history; the title makes that plain. It challenges the common and unrealistic assertion of a lost medieval utopia. Wonderful. Contrary views to popular narratives are so important, especially in our current atmosphere of restricted speech and 'correct' thinking.

I believe he has strong opinions and perhaps some personal anger against an academic environment that tries to enforce a particular viewpoint, but I do not think it fair to say he has an axe to grind. I actually think he opposes that very thing.

The audio quality could be better.

Very good, very important
