This revisionary study of Muslims living under Christian rule during the Spanish "reconquest" delves into the subtleties of identity under the thirteenth-century Crown rule of Aragon. Brian Catlos uncovers a social dynamic in which sectarian differences comprise only one of the many factors in the causal complex of political; economic and cultural reactions. Beginning with the final stage of independent Muslim rule in the Ebro valley region; he traces the subtle and often surprising transformation of Islamic society into mudéjar society under Christian domination.
