Class Details

The presence of Islam–in all its diverse manifestations–is not new to Europe, least of all to Spain. In this course we will focus for the most part on the medieval and early modern periods to study the ways in which which Muslims and Islam have inhabited and been portrayed in the Iberian Peninsula. We will cover a wide range of perspectives as well as cultural material. While the bulk of the course is focused on the period prior to 1700 CE, towards the end of the course we will relate our findings to contemporary Spain through social and legal debates, among them topics related to immigration.
