520 "This volume proposes a new approach to the Arab conquests
and the spread of Islam in North Africa. In recent years,
those studying the Islamic world have shown that the
coming of Islam was not marked by devastation or decline,
but rather by considerable cultural and economic
continuity. In North Africa, with continuity came
significant change. Corisande Fenwick argues that the
establishment of Muslim rule also coincided with a phase
of intense urbanization, the appearance of new
architectural forms (mosques, housing, hammams), the
spread of Muslim social and cultural practices, the
introduction of new crops and manufacturing techniques and
the establishment of new trading links with sub-Saharan
Africa, Europe and the Middle East. This concise and
accessible book offers the first assessment of the
archaeology of early Islamic North Africa (7th-9th
centuries), drawing on a wide range of new evidence from
Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. It lays out current
debates about its interpretation and suggests new ways of
thinking about this crucial period in world history.
Essential reading for those interested in understanding
the impact of the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam
on daily life, it will also challenge students of
archaeology and history to think in new ways about North
Africa, the earliest Islamic empires and states and the
transition from the Roman to the medieval Mediterranean."-
