We are excited to share that the Journal of Early Modern History has published a review of a book from our Harvard Series in Islamic Law, Jocelyn Hendrickson’s (University of Alberta) Leaving Iberia: Islamic Law and Christian Conquest in North West Africa. The reviewer, Ana Struillou (European University Institute), calls the book a “particularly stimulating contribution to the connected histories of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa” that “entices readers to further compare and contrast the intricacies of cross-religious relations in North Africa as well as in Spain, which has often been studied in isolation from the rest of the Mediterranean…[it] masterfully demonstrates that the histories of Iberian-born Muslims, Moriscos, and Muslims living under Christian rule in the Maghreb can benefit from being studied together.“ Read the review today and don’t forget to get your hands on a copy of the book!
