It challenges prevalent readings of architecture and interiors whose creation was the result of cultural encounters. As Mudéjar and neo-Moorish architecture are closely connected to the Islamic world, concepts of identity, nationalism, religious and ethnic belonging, as well as Orientalism and Islamoscepticism significantly shaped the way in which they have been perceived over time. This volume offers art historical and socio-cultural analysis of selected case studies from Spain to Russia and opens the door to  a better understanding of interconnected cultural and artistic phenomena.  Contributors are (in order of appearance) Francine Giese, Ariane Varela Braga, Michael A. Conrad, Katrin Kaufmann, Sarah Keller, Elena Paulino Montero, Luis Araus Ballesteros, Ekaterina Savinova, Christian Schweizer, Alejandro Jiménez Hernández and Laura Álvarez Acosta.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  Abbreviations  List of Figures  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: Towards a Comprehensive Understanding of Interconnected Realities    Francine Giese    PART 1 Between Fascination and Conflict    1 Where Does Mudéjar Architecture Belong?    Francine Giese    2 When Warriors Become Teachers   Alfonso x’s Cultural Endeavors and the Crusade Ideology    Michael A.
