Enlightening

I’ve knew little of the story and history of the Moors. After listening to this I’ve got to learn more of the history of the Moors.

Where are they now

I find the movie is fascinating. If they were such a learning people, why were they banished to begin with. It’s obvious they were interested in acclamation rather utter domination. Between one group ,tribe, clan or another this is still happening today in the 21st-century

Good review and context of events

The middle couple chapters were a challenge to maintain attention to, but overall the informant throughout the book was well explained and interesting.

They were way more advanced than the Europeans

I like the poetry the author draws on for a eyewitness point of view give and take the creativity of the poet. But most poems and songs are still social commentary today

A little known part of history

It is important to know the significant role of this high period of Islamic culture and its part in preserving the writings of the Athenian philosophers. They were able to translate and preserve the Greek to syriac translations. Ironically in the most peaceful periods there was academic interactions between the Islamic , Jewish and some Christian scholars.

Moors and Spain

Good overview on the history of the Moors, Spain, and religious conquests that lay the foundation to modern relationships between Christianity and Islam prior to the era of colonialism.

Mmmm. Great subject…but….

Most of my criticism is about the narrator-pronunciations are difficult, doesn’t read poetry well

Question some of the statements & wonder if there is a bibliography of primary & secondary sources.

Classic.,.

Perfect History

Inspired by the history of a people that became great & enshrined nobility. Well Done

Atrociously Flat Vocal Performance

This is one of the worst vocal performances I've ever heard. It is flat, dry, and uninspired. The forced pronunciation of very specific words is jarring and the pacing is off. There is no flow to this performance at all. It's SO BAD I can't even pay attention to what he is actually talking about, the complete history is completely missed.
