Reviews

“Woven together from historical, geographical, literary, and legal sources, Narrating Muslim Sicily is an intricate and fascinating account of a medieval civilization lying on the frontier between Islam and Christendom. William Granara brilliantly teases out the different ways that Arabs and Muslims viewed the island – from eyewitnesses of the golden years of Sicily’s Islamic period, to later poets and scholars who reimagined its history. At the heart of Granara’s groundbreaking bookis a subtle argument: that while all of these sources collectively constituted a “zone of contradiction”, they nevertheless consistently appealed to the concept of jihad as a tool to extract meaning from Muslim Sicily’s unique experiences.” –  Robert Wisnovsky, James McGill Professor of Islamic Philosophy, McGill University, Canada

“an invaluable resource for specialists in medieval Sicily, and invites more general readers into this rich literary world” –  Joshua C. Birk, Associate Professor of History, Smith College USA.
