Muslim Expansion and Byzantine Collapse in North Africa

Beschreibung

Who 'lost' Christian North Africa? Who won and how? Walter Kaegi examines these perennial questions, with maps and on-site observations, in this exciting book. An impartial comparative framework helps to sort through identity politics, 'Orientalism' charges and counter-charges, and institutional controversies.
