[Andalusi Studies] New Publication

Tue Sep 3 01:45:29 PDT 2019

Dear colleagues,

This is to let you know about the publication of:

Ana Echevarría Arsuaga and Iñaki Martín Viso, LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA EN  
LA EDAD MEDIA (700-1250), Madrid, UNED, 2019.
https://www.librosuned.com/LU25430/La-Pen%C3%ADnsula-Ib%C3%A9rica-en-la-Edad-Media-(700-1250).aspx

Primarily conceived as a handbook for undergraduates, the book  
includes a number of "Dossiers" by Pascal Buresi, Ana Cabrera,  
Margarita Fernández, Jesús Lorenzo, Fernando Luis Corral, Christine  
Mazzoli-Guintard, José Manuel Rodriguez and myself.

Comentario: Esta obra, destinada a los estudiantes de Historia y a los  
interesados en el tema, abarca un amplio periodo cronológico,  
comenzando por la conquista islámica y hasta el momento en el que la  
Península Ibérica queda dividida políticamente en los cinco reinos que  
habrían de marcar la etapa siguiente, conocida como Baja Edad Media.
Cada capítulo de la obra se dedica a un siglo aproximadamente,  
alternando los reinos cristianos y al-Andalus, para proporcionar una  
idea clara de la evolución en el tiempo de las instituciones, formas  
de vida y dinastías de cada una de las sociedades, así como de las  
relaciones y enfrentamientos que se establecieron entre los distintos  
poderes en cada momento. El énfasis en la Península Ibérica como  
concepto no solo geográfico, sino también cultural, ayuda a resolver  
la dialéctica entre los conceptos de Hispania, España y al-Andalus.

Best regards,
Delfina Serrano, ILC, CSIC, Madrid (Spain)
