«Cuando fuimos árabes» is the historical essay by Emilio González Ferrín, published by Almuzara in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
Emilio González Ferrín revisits the history of Spain to argue that the territory precedes the nation and that the legacy of Al Ándalus is not limited to the presence of medieval Islam. Against the idea of a closed Europe, the essay proposes assimilating that Arab past as one's own, recalls that Arabic was a language of culture in the Peninsula, and advocates rethinking Islam from the diffuse borders between cultures.
Emilio González Ferrín is a professor of Arab and Islamic Thought at the University of Seville. The work belongs to the Al Ándalus collection; first edition in January 2018.
For readers of Spanish and Islamic history, and for those seeking an essay that questions European cultural identity.
