Focusing on the transformation of Islamic society into mudéjar society during the Spanish reconquest, this study examines the complexities of identity among Muslims under Christian rule in the thirteenth-century Crown of Aragon. It highlights the active role Muslims played in shaping their institutions and experiences, challenging the notion of them as mere victims of colonization.
