The crisis of multiculturalism in Europe : a history
\"From the influx of immigrants in the 1950s to contemporary worries about refugees and terrorism, The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe examines the historical development of multiculturalism on the Continent. Rita Chin argues that there were few efforts to institute state-sponsored policies of multiculturalism, and those that emerged were pronounced failures virtually from their inception. She shows that today's crisis of support for cultural pluralism isn't new but actually has its roots in the 1980s. Chin looks at the touchstones of European multiculturalism, from the urgent need for laborers after World War II to the public furor over the publication of The Satanic Verses and the question of French girls wearing headscarves to school. While many Muslim immigrants had lived in Europe for decades, in the 1980s they came to be defined by their religion and the public's preoccupation with gender relations. Acceptance of sexual equality became the critical gauge of Muslims' compatibility with Western values. The convergence of left and right around the defense of such personal freedoms against a putatively illiberal Islam has threatened to undermine commitment to pluralism as a core ideal. Chin contends that renouncing the principles of diversity brings social costs, particularly for the left, and she considers how Europe might construct an effective political engagement with its varied population.\"--Publisher web site.

Kingdoms of faith : a new history of Islamic Spain
\"A magisterial, myth-dispelling history of Islamic Spain spanning the millennium between the founding of Islam in the seventh century and the final expulsion of Spain's Muslims in the seventeenth In Kingdoms of Faith, award-winning historian Brian A. Catlos rewrites the history of Islamic Spain from the ground up, evoking the cultural splendor of al-Andalus, while offering an authoritative new interpretation of the forces that shaped it. Prior accounts have portrayed Islamic Spain as a paradise of enlightened tolerance or the site where civilizations clashed. Catlos taps a wide array of primary sources to paint a more complex portrait, showing how Muslims, Christians, and Jews together built a sophisticated civilization that helped transform the Western world, even as they waged relentless war against each other and their coreligionists. Religion was often the language of conflict, but seldom its cause--a lesson we would do well to learn in our own time\"-- Provided by publisher.

Transkulturelle Verflechtungsprozesse in der Vormoderne
Im Zuge der verstärkten Auseinandersetzung mit globalgeschichtlichen Ansätzen hat die Erforschung von Verflechtungsprozessen in den letzten Jahren eine Konjunktur erlebt. Allerdings sind die meisten Arbeiten, die sich mit wechselseitigen Austauschprozessen zwischen verschiedenen Bevölkerungs- und Religionsgruppen befassen, der Moderne gewidmet. Zur Schließung dieser Lücke möchte der Sammelband beitragen, indem er neuere Forschungsansätze zur transkulturellen Verflechtung vorstellt und daraus abgeleitete Fragestellungen auf das Mittelalter und die Frühe Neuzeit anwendet. Die einzelnen Beiträge gehen dabei der Frage nach, unter welchen Voraussetzungen sich Verflechtungen zwischen unterschiedlichen ‚Kulturen‘, Regionen und sozialen Gruppen ereigneten, worin sich diese Verflechtungen zeigten und ob bzw. wie diese wahrgenommen wurden. Ferner richten die Beiträge den Blick auf Trägergruppen von Verflechtungsprozessen sowie auf Objekte, die als Bedeutungsträger solche Prozesse konstituierten. Somit ist der Band für all diejenigen von Interesse, die sich für die Erforschung der vielschichtigen Beziehungen zwischen Christen, Juden und Muslimen sowie zwischen Europa und der außereuropäischen Welt in der Vormoderne interessieren.
