Description:People conquered by Islamic powers were assimilated in various fashions. Some were allowed their own quasi-self-government and free practice of their faith, if they paid a special tax, the dhimmah. Others were subjected to slavery, and still others sensed hardly any change in their lives at all. Whatever their respective fates, they were bound to interact with each other and with their Islamic conquerors. In this collection of 15 articles previously published since 1970, contributors examine these relationships and the fates of various groups, including Jews and early Christians, the relative importance of conversions, the injunctions of sacred texts about relationships with those not Islamic, and the issues of self- government in a far-flung territory.
