It's a really great book, I was surprised how organized and wealthy they Moors were. The had a prosperous and powerful kingdom in Spain. This book will open your eyes to the pain and tribulations that they went through by the hands of the jealous and fearful Spaniards.
The Smoors in Spain.

This is better:
>In 1527, the Castilian conquistador Pánfilo de Narváez and a crew of 600 men sailed from Spain to the Gulf Coast of the United States to claim “La Florida” for the Spanish crown. Laila Lalami recounts the voyage — and its brutal aftermath — in her new novel, “The Moor’s Account,” from the perspective of Estebanico, a Moroccan slave of one of the explorers. It’s a fictional memoir, told in a controlled voice that feels at once historical and contemporary, that seeks to offer a truer account of the expedition than the official (and hopelessly biased) version of events provided by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, one of the other three survivors.

Also remember that most of the muslims in Al-Andalus were actually spaniards, the so called muladíes. But of course they were bellow an arab culture.
>>1081382
Bullshit. Al-Andalus was somehow like Switzerland but with an strong apartheid. Late with the taifas it was even more stupid.
The book "Al-Ándalus contra España" by Serafín Fanjul explain this very well.
