Mozárabes en la España Medieval

The history of the Mozarabs is a secular history, very rich in content and extremely unique, which in recent decades has been arousing great interest. Something natural if we look at the strength of the Mozarabic identity, that of a society with its own characteristics and a leading role in its own History, sharing times and scenarios in the turbulent Peninsula between the 8th and 13th centuries. This volume is intended to deepen their knowledge, composed from the scientific rigor of research of the highest quality but with the intention of offering an easy-to-read volume. Under the light shed by the new research, based on the information offered by the archaeological, artistic, documentary and literary record, a very alive and increasingly well-known world is outlined, especially in some of its aspects. Eleven works signed by a dozen specialists explain how these human groups experienced the Islamic conquest and the imposition of a new political order, where and how they lived, how they celebrated their cults and buried their dead, their eagerness and their confrontations with the state, the reality of women in these groups or their similarities and differences with other minorities with which they coexisted. All this reveals a world, the Mozarabic world, much more luminous than what old topics have indicated.
