Description








"Europe and the Islamic World" sheds much-needed light
on the shared roots of Islamic and Western cultures and on
the richness of their inextricably intertwined histories, refuting
once and for all the misguided notion of a "clash of civilizations"
between the Muslim world and Europe.

In this landmark book, three eminent historians bring to life
the complex and tumultuous relations between Genoans and
Tunisians, Alexandrians and the people of Constantinople,
Catalans and Maghrebis--the myriad groups and individuals
whose stories reflect the common cultural, intellectual, and
religious heritage of Europe and Islam.

Since the seventh century, when the armies of Constantinople
and Medina fought for control of Syria and Palestine, there has
been ongoing contact between the Muslim world and the West.
This sweeping history vividly recounts the wars and the crusades,
the alliances and diplomacy, commerce and the slave trade,
technology transfers, and the intellectual and artistic exchanges.

Here readers are given an unparalleled introduction
to key periods and events, including the Muslim
conquests, the collapse of the Byzantine Empire, the commercial
revolution of the medieval Mediterranean, the intellectual and
cultural achievements of Muslim Spain, the crusades and Spanish
reconquest, the rise of the Ottomans and their conquest of a third
of Europe, European colonization and decolonization, and the
challenges and promise of this entwined legacy today.

As provocative as it is groundbreaking, this book describes this
shared history in all its richness and diversity, revealing how
ongoing encounters between Europe and Islam have
profoundly shaped both.
