This course will examine the history of al-Andalus, Muslim Iberia, from the initial conquest in the 2nd/8th century to the fall of the last Muslim polity in Granada in the 9th/15th century.
Journey through eight centuries of Islamic civilization in the Iberian Peninsula, from the initial conquest in 711 CE to the fall of Granada in 1492. This comprehensive course examines the political, social, and intellectual evolution of al-Andalus.
We explore Andalusi Muslim political theory and decline theories, including Ibn Khaldun’s cyclical framework, while connecting these historical insights to contemporary discourse on civilization and governance.
