The Umayyad Empire
Book •
Andrew Marsham's 'The Umayyad Empire' offers a comprehensive analysis of the Umayyad dynasty's political structures, governance, and societal transformations in the early Islamic centuries.
Marsham examines administrative practices, provincial relations, and the empire's integration of diverse populations across its territories.
The book situates Umayyad rule within broader late antique imperial traditions and explores continuity and change from preceding polities.
It addresses key debates about centralization, identity formation, and the role of religion in statecraft.
Marsham's work is grounded in close readings of Arabic and non-Arabic sources and contributes significantly to modern understandings of the Umayyad period.
