After Granada: The Arab-Islamic Legacy in Al-Andalus

In this session, historian and researcher Adiba Romero presents a historical reading of the Arab-Islamic legacy in Al-Andalus, focusing on the sixteenth century as a pivotal period of political, social, and cultural transformation. The session sheds light on the period following the fall of Granada and the profound changes that affected Andalusian society, the Arabic language, and the pathways of knowledge production. It also explores the continued presence of the Andalusian legacy within Spain and beyond, viewing it as a transitional phase and a living, evolving heritage passed down through generations.
