The armies of Castile and Aragon won significant and decisive victories over Muslims in Iberia and took over a number of important cities including Cordoba, Seville, Jaen, and Murcia. Chased out of their native cities, a large number of Andalusis migrated to Ifrīqiy? in northern Africa. There, a newly founded Hafsid dynasty (1229-1574) welcomed members of the Andalusi elite and showered them with honors and high positions at court.While historians have tended to conceive of Ifrīqiy? as a region ruled by the Hafsids, Ramzi Rouighi argues in The Making of a Mediterranean Emirate that the Andalusis who joined the Hafsid court supported economic arrangements and political relationships that effectively prevented regional integration from taking place during this period. Rouighi examines an array of documentary, literary, and legal sources to argue that Ifrīqiy? was integrated neither politically nor economically and that, consequently, it was not a region in a meaningful sense. Through a close reading of narrative sources, especially historical chronicles, Rouighi further argues that the emergence in the late fourteenth century of the political ideology of Emirism accounts for the representation of the rule of the Hafsid dynasty over cities as its rule over the whole of Ifrīqiy?. Setting the activities of Andalusis such as the celebrated historian Ibn Khald?n (1332-1406) in relation to specific political, economic, and intellectual developments in Ifrīqiy?, The Making of a Mediterranean Emirate proposes a counter to the dynastic-centric view of the period that pervades medieval sources and continues to inform most modern generalizations about the Maghrib and the Mediterranean. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aHISTORY / Medieval$2bisacsh 607 $aAfrica, North$xHistory$y647-1517 607 $aAfrica, North$xHistoriography 610 $aEuropean History. 610 $aHistory. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 610 $aWorld History. 615 7$aHISTORY / Medieval. 676 $a961/.022 700 $aRouighi$b Ramzi$01084601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814179403321 996 $aThe making of a Mediterranean emirate$93987127 997 $aUNINA
