Media Reviews

The year' s most rewarding historical work is L. P. Harvey' s Muslims in Spain 1500-1614, a sobering account of the various ways in which a venerable Islamic culture fell victim to Christian bigotry. Harvey never urges the topicality of his subject on us, but this aspect inevitably sharpens an already compelling book. -- Jonathan Keats, Times Literary Supplement

L. P. Harvey''s important new book, Muslims in Spain: 1500 to 1614 , soberly recounts the ways in which Muslim culture and religion, which had been part of Spanish life for eight centuries, was forcibly suppressed, until Muslims were completely expelled from Spain, between 1609 and 1614. There was much trauma and bloodshed, much secrecy and much dissimulation. --Edward Rothstein, New York Times
