{"product_id":"shared-identities-c-hughes-9780190684464","title":"Shared Identities C","description":"Received opinion imagines Judaism and Islam as two distinct religions interacting in the centuries following the death of Muhammad in the early seventh century. Tradition describes the relations between the two groups using such tropes as \"symbiosis.\" In this revisionist work, Aaron W. Hughes instead argues that various porous and marginal groups-neither fully Muslim nor fully Jewish-exploited a shared terminology to make sense of their social worlds in response to the rapid process of Islamicization. What emerged as normative rabbinic Judaism on the one hand, and Sunni and ShiEven the spread of rabbinic Judaism, especially at the hands of Saadya Gaon (882-942 CE), was articulated Islamically\u003cem\u003e. \u003c\/em\u003eIn the so-called \"Golden Age\" that emerged in places like Muslim Spain and North Africa, this \"Islamic\" Judaism could still be found in the writings of luminaires such as Bahya ibn Paquda, Abraham ibn Ezra, Judah Halevi, and Moses Maimonides.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on social theory, comparative religion, and the analysis of original sources, Hughes presents a compelling case for rewriting our understanding of Jews and Muslims in their earliest centuries of interaction. Not content to remain solely in the past, \u003cem\u003eShared Identities \u003c\/em\u003eexamines the continued interaction of Muslims and Jews, now reimagined as Palestinians and Israelis, into the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190684461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190684464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2018","brand":"Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48152946082047,"sku":"9780190684464","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c3d324d-d3a9-4701-8c7a-79830bc37673.jpg?v=1770780257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shared-identities-c-hughes-9780190684464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
