Although the Granada riot was a local phenomenon that was soon contained, subsequent widespread rebellion provided the Christian government with an excuse-or justification, as its leaders saw things-to embark on the systematic elimination of the Islamic presence from Spain, as well as from the Iberian Peninsula as a whole, over the next hundred years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Picking up at the end of his earlier classic study, \u003ci\u003eIslamic Spain, 1250 to 1500-\u003c\/i\u003e which described the courageous efforts of the followers of Islam to preserve their secular, as well as sacred, culture in late medieval Spain-L. P. Harvey chronicles here the struggles of the Moriscos. These forced converts to Christianity lived clandestinely in the sixteenth century as Muslims, communicating in \u003ci\u003ealjamiado-\u003c\/i\u003e Spanish written in Arabic characters. More broadly, \u003ci\u003eMuslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, \u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of an early modern nation struggling to deal with diversity and multiculturalism while torn by the fanaticism of the Counter-Reformation on one side and the threat of Ottoman expansion on the other. Harvey recounts how a century of tolerance degenerated into a vicious cycle of repression and rebellion until the final expulsion in 1614 of all Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Retold in all its complexity and poignancy, this tale of religious intolerance, political maneuvering, and ethnic cleansing resonates with many modern concerns.
