In this short book, Nikolas Jaspert attempts to provide an overview of the history of the so-called Reconquista. Contrary to the image of a steady reconquest of Islamic territories, Jaspert aims to stress that this period was in fact characterized by various kinds of cultural exchange. Against this backdrop, he deconstructs the Reconquista as a powerful, but flawed narrative that does not sufficiently take into account the changing courses of the wars on the Iberian Peninsula and which obscures other aspects of the relations between Christians, Muslims and also Jews in this period.
