Zusammenfassung

'Andalus' unmasks the neglected Arab ancestry of modern Spain; its food, language, people and culture. The text strikes parallels with the current world situation, finding echoes of the harmony that existed in medieval Spain, and of the religious intolerance that eventually brought about the Inquisition.

Andalus Zusammenfassung

Andalus Jason Webster

Spain's Moorish past is evident everywhere you look. For centuries, Christians, Muslims and Jews lived in Spain side by side in peace, and it was home to some of the greatest minds in the world. After the Moors' expulsion in the seventeenth century, much of their knowledge, skill and artistry was lost. Jason Webster originally travelled to Spain to play the flamenco guitar. A qualified Arabist, he now embarks on a quest for Spain's forgotten Arab legacy, and gets embroiled with characters who are as wild and original as those he described so vividly in Duende. What lessons can we learn today from the harmony that existed for so long in medieval Spain - and from the subsequent expulsion of its Muslims and Jews?
