Early Islamic North Africa Zusammenfassung

Early Islamic North Africa: A New Perspective Dr Corisande Fenwick (Lecturer in Mediterranean Archaeology, University College London, UK)

This volume proposes a new approach to the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam in North Africa. In recent years, those studying the Islamic world have shown that the coming of Islam was not marked by devastation or decline, but rather by considerable cultural and economic continuity. In North Africa, with continuity came significant change. Corisande Fenwick argues that the establishment of Muslim rule also coincided with a phase of intense urbanization, the appearance of new architectural forms (mosques, housing, hammams), the spread of Muslim social and cultural practices, the introduction of new crops and manufacturing techniques and the establishment of new trading links with sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and the Middle East. This concise and accessible book offers the first assessment of the archaeology of early Islamic North Africa (7th-9th centuries), drawing on a wide range of new evidence from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. It lays out current debates about its interpretation and suggests new ways of thinking about this crucial period in world history. Essential reading for those interested in understanding the impact of the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam on daily life, it will also challenge students of archaeology and history to think in new ways about North Africa, the earliest Islamic empires and states and the transition from the Roman to the medieval Mediterranean.

Early Islamic North Africa Bewertungen

Fenwick's 'new perspective' delivers a concise and erudite overview of an understudied period and region. * The Muslim World Book Review *
Corisande Fenwick succeeds admirably in presenting a coherent perspective which re-appraises known sources, presents new data and makes original, yet solid proposals for a coherent narrative. ... this publication is a phenomenal achievement * Medieval Archaeology *
Fenwick's definitive study offers a bold and refreshing account of the arrival and assimilation of Islam in North Africa. By integrating textual and archaeological sources both old and new, her book displays an urgent freshness in rigorously challenging old narratives with modern discoveries. -- Alan Walmsley, Honorary Professor of Ancient History, Macquarie University, Australia
