| Abstract | "From 711 to 1492, large parts of today's Spain and Portugal were ruled by Muslims, and this territory was known as al-Andalus. Al-Andalus ceased to exist as a place in 1492, but its memories and legacies have survived in many cultural forms and have animated a diverse array of cultural and political projects throughout today's world. Taking up this wide-ranging story, On Earth or in Poems explores the uses and meanings of al-Andalus in contemporary culture, drawing on examples from literature, cinema, television, music, architecture, and tourism from contexts across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the United States"-- Provided by publisher. |
