Europe and the Islamic World sheds much-needed light on the shared roots of Islamic and Western cultures and on the richness of their inextricably intertwined histories, refuting once and for all the misguided notion of a "clash of civilizations" between the Muslim world and Europe. In this landmark book, three eminent historians bring to life the complex and tumultuous relations between Genoans and Tunisians, Alexandrians and the people of Constantinople, Catalans and Maghrebis--the myriad groups and individuals whose stories reflect the common cultural, intellectual, and religious heritage of Europe and Islam. Since the seventh century, when the armies of Constantinople and Medina fought for control of Syria and Palestine, there has been ongoing contact between the Muslim world and the West. This sweeping history vividly recounts the wars and the crusades, the alliances and diplomacy, commerce and the slave trade, technology transfers, and the intellectual and artistic exchanges.Here readers are given an unparalleled introduction to key periods and events, including the Muslim conquests, the collapse of the Byzantine Empire, the commercial revolution of the medieval Mediterranean, the intellectual and cultural achievements of Muslim Spain, the crusades and Spanish reconquest, the rise of the Ottomans and their conquest of a third of Europe, European colonization and decolonization, and the challenges and promise of this entwined legacy today. As provocative as it is groundbreaking, this book describes this shared history in all its richness and diversity, revealing how ongoing encounters between Europe and Islam have profoundly shaped both.

Originally published in 1958, this is the biography of John Laurens (1754-1782), an American soldier and statesman from South Carolina during the American Revolutionary War, best known for his criticism of slavery and his efforts to help recruit slaves to fight for their freedom as U.S. soldiers.In the author’s own words, Laurens hailed from an era that “knew nothing of flamethrowers and submarines, of atomic bombs and guided missiles. To the young republic this man gave his utmost devotion, acting within five momentous years the roles of soldier, legislator, aide-de-camp to the Commander-in-Chief, and Special Minister to France.”

Linguiste, philologue, orientaliste, historien, philosophe, publiciste, écrivain, Renan (1823-1892) fut, selon le mot d’Anatole France, « l’un des plus vastes génies de son temps ». La probité intellectuelle était pour lui une vertu première. Ses livres et ses conférences – L’Avenir de la science, Vie de Jésus, Qu’est-ce qu’une nation ?, etc. – ont fait de lui une figure centrale de la vie scientifique et intellectuelle française de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Toutes les tensions de son époque s’y reflètent : science et religion, peuple et élite, vérité et démocratie, diversité des cultures et universalité de la raison. Ce sont encore les nôtres. À l’occasion du cent cinquantième anniversaire de sa leçon inaugurale, en octobre 2012, le Collège de France a voulu lui rendre hommage. Replaçant sa pensée et ses travaux dans leur contexte scientifique, culturel et politique, mettant en lumière leur originalité et leurs apports à la connaissance et au débat intellectuel, dégageant les erreurs et les acquis, les impasses et les voies novatrices, les idées dépassées et celles qui valent qu’on y revienne, cet ouvrage propose ainsi un état des lieux en profondeur de l’héritage de Renan. Henry Laurens est professeur au Collège de France, chaire d’histoire contemporaine du monde arabe. Il est notamment l’auteur de La Question de Palestine (1999-2007) et d’Histoires orientales (2009). Contributions de Jean Balcou, Sophie Basch, Corinne Bonnet, Dominique Bourel, Jacques Bouveresse, Dominique Charpin, Antoine Compagnon, Denis Knoepfler, Alain de Libera, Jean-Noël Robert, Thomas Römer, Pierre Rosanvallon, John Scheid, Perrine Simon-Nahum, Céline Surprenant, Claudine Tiercelin, Tobie Zakia, Michel Zink.

Voici l’histoire d’une relation tumultueuse sans laquelle il est impossible de comprendre notre temps. La conquête arabe, la décomposition de Byzance, les croisades, l’Espagne maure et la Reconquista, les échanges et les conflits du XVIIIe siècle, l’Empire ottoman, la colonisation européenne et la décolonisation : depuis 630, lorsque les armées de Constantinople et de Médine se disputèrent le contrôle de la Syrie-Palestine, les contacts entre l’Europe et le monde musulman n’ont cessé. Leur importance, leur richesse, leur variété, si manifestes pour celui qui connaît l’histoire, ne sont pourtant pas si évidentes pour tous. Pour les comprendre, il ne s’agit pas d’opposer les deux « civilisations » rivales que seraient, selon Samuel Huntington, Islam et Europe, mais d’explorer les relations multiples entre Génois et Tunisiens, Constantinopolitains et Alexandrins ou encore Catalans et Maghrébins, bref, entre tous les individus et les groupes qui ont forgé ce que nous appelons désormais l’Europe et le monde musulman, dont les racines s’enfoncent profondément dans un héritage religieux, culturel et intellectuel commun. Trois grands spécialistes font revivre ici cette histoire multiséculaire et proposent une somme historique de référence pour éclairer la complexité des enjeux, des héritages et des événements contemporains. Henry Laurens, spécialiste du monde arabo-musulman, est professeur au Collège de France (chaire d’histoire contemporaine du monde arabe). John Tolan, médiéviste, est professeur d’histoire à l’université de Nantes et directeur de la Maison des sciences de l’homme Ange-Guépin. Gilles Veinstein est professeur au Collège de France (chaire d’histoire turque et ottomane) et directeur d’études à l’école des hautes études en sciences sociales.
