On the Record with Prof. Eduardo Manzano Moreno
What do people really mean when they talk about Al-Andalus? Was medieval Iberia a model of coexistence, a lost paradise, or something far more complex? In this episode, Cristina Moreno-Almeida speaks with historian Eduardo Manzano Moreno about the historical realities of Al-Andalus and the many ways it has been remembered, romanticised, and politically mobilised over time. Together they explore coexistence and conflict in medieval Iberia, the limits of the idea of 'convivencia', and why simplified versions of the past continue to resonate today.
