Trade Review
"Andrew Magnusson provides an insightful narrative of the relationship between the Zoroastrian population of the former Sasanian Empire and that of the new Muslim Caliphate who became their master in the seventh century CE. He wonderfully demonstrates that the early Muslims position toward the Zoroastrians was much more nuanced and moves beyond the old binary of tolerance" and "intolerance," in describing their relationship. Magnusson suggests that the early Muslims by necessity accommodated the Zoroastrian community by giving them their own space and privileges."" -Touraj Daryaee, Maseeh Chair in Persian Studies & Culture University of California, Irvine
