Enigmas de las Américas

One of the main purposes behind this book is to reveal which images have come down to us concerning Arabic culture in general and al-Andalus in particular, through translations by Spanish Arabists. This book analyzes the paratexts of a wide-ranging corpus of translations published during the last two centuries by the foremost figures in traditional Spanish Arabism.

El autor aporta luces sobre el Islam, su expansión por el Oriente Próximo y su controvertido asentamiento en España. Facilita una breve pero honda composición de lugar durante la Reconquista, analizando el problema morisco y el de los cristianos recluidos en la Berbería. Finalmente, el libro se asoma al Islam en la España actual, un mundo creciente, muy diferente del occidental, que conviene conocer en profundidad.
