While the popular perception of al-Andalus is that of a land of religious tolerance and cultural cooperation, the fact is that we know relatively little about how Muslims governed Christians and Jews in al-Andalus and about social relations among Muslims, Christians, and Jews. In Defining Boundaries in al-Andalus, Janina M. Safran takes a close look at the structure and practice of Muslim political and legal-religious authority and offers a rare look at intercommunal life in Iberia during the first three centuries of Islamic rule.Safran makes creative use of a body of evidence that until now has gone largely untapped by historians-the writings and opinions of Andalusi and Maghribi jurists during the Umayyad dynasty. These sources enable her to bring to life a society undergoing dramatic transformation. Obvious differences between conquerors and conquered and Muslims and non-Muslims became blurred over time by transculturation, intermarriage, and conversion. Safran examines ample evidence of intimate contact between individuals of different religious communities and of legal-juridical accommodation to develop an argument about how legal-religious authorities interpreted the social contract between the Muslim regime and the Christian and Jewish populations. Providing a variety of examples of boundary-testing and negotiation and bringing judges, jurists, and their legal opinions and texts into the narrative of Andalusi history, Safran deepens our understanding of the politics of Umayyad rule, makes Islamic law tangibly social, and renders intercommunal relations vividly personal. 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xIslam$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aDhimmis (Islamic law)$zSpain$zAndalusia$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aIslam$xRelations$xJudaism$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aIslamic law$zSpain$zAndalusia$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xIslam$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSpain$xCivilization$y711-1516 607 $aAndalusia (Spain)$xEthnic relations 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xIslam$xHistory 615 0$aDhimmis (Islamic law)$xHistory 615 0$aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity$xHistory 615 0$aIslam$xRelations$xJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aIslamic law$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xIslam$xHistory 615 0$aSpain$xCivilization 676 $a946.8/02 700 $aSafran$b Janina M$01493869 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779539003321 996 $aDefining boundaries in al-Andalus$93717104 997 $aUNINA
