{"product_id":"the-spanish-kingdom-on-the-walid-mahroum-9798230750055","title":"The Spanish Kingdom on the Ruins of Al-Andalus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to tell the true story of Al-Andalus, focusing on its people Muslims, Christians, and Jews, who created a society that flourished for nearly eight centuries. Often misrepresented or marginalized in historical narratives, the people of Al-Andalus were not foreign invaders but indigenous to this land. Generations of families were born, lived, and died there, making Al-Andalus their homeland in every sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dominant narrative, promoted by the forces that later established the Spanish Kingdom, falsely claimed that the inhabitants of Al-Andalus were outsiders who seized the Iberian Peninsula. This book challenges such claims, revealing how these narratives served to justify the violent seizure of Al-Andalus and the destruction of its civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough forced conversions, expulsions, and cultural erasure, the people of Al-Andalus were displaced, and their land was annexed by foreign settlers under the guise of a \"reconquest.\" The truth is that this was not a reclamation but the theft of a homeland from its rightful inhabitants. The Spanish Kingdom rose on the ruins of Al-Andalus, built upon centuries of loss and suppression of an indigenous civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book aims to restore the voices of the Moriscos and other people of Al-Andalus, to affirm their deep ties to the land, and to honor their contributions to its history and culture. By doing so, it seeks to correct misconceptions and offer a more accurate understanding of this pivotal period in history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walid Mahroum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798230750055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walid Mahroum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Walid Mahroum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000771420415,"sku":"9798230750055","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spanish-kingdom-on-the-walid-mahroum-9798230750055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
