The book argues that identities and alterities were multiple, that there was no war between Christianity and Islam and that commerce prevailed over ideology and dogma. Inspired by Braudel, who asserts that \u0026amp;#x27;the Mediterranean speaks with many voices; it is a sum of individual histories\u0026amp;#x27;, it endeavors to allow the people of the early modern Mediterranean to speak for themselves. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920502440094,"sku":"ING-9781526146434","price":194.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526146434.jpg?v=1782822303","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526146434","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
