RT Article T1 The fall of the Almohad Empire in the eyes of modern Spanish historians JF Islam and Christian-Muslim relations VO 14 IS 2 SP 145 OP 162 A1 O'Connor, Isabel LA English PB Routledge YR 2003 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/597088527 AB One reason for the lack of interest in the Almohad period is the great emphasis on local history that swept Spain after the advent of democracy. This tendency has produced a great deal of interest not only in local figures, but also in local communities, and especially in Mudejars and Jews. This article investigates this issue from within a broader context, namely, the status of Islamic studies in contemporary Spain and raises the question as to whether Spain has really overcome its polemic and romantic interpretation of its Andalusi past.
