medieval worlds provides a forum for comparative, interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Its aim is to overcome disciplinary boundaries, regional limits and national research traditions in Medieval Studies, to open up new spaces for discussion, and to help developing global perspectives. We focus on the period from c. 400 to 1500 CE but do not stick to rigid periodization.
medieval worlds is open to submissions of broadly comparative studies and matters of global interest, whether in single articles, companion papers, smaller clusters, or special issues on a subject of global/comparative history. We particularly invite studies of wide-ranging connectivity or comparison between different world regions.

Apart from research articles, medieval worlds publishes ongoing debates and project and conference reports on comparative medieval research.

Abstract:
The article focuses on the “Islamization” of Berber lifestyles, rather than the effects of the conquest on the Romanized inhabitants of towns in the Africa Proconsularis, the medieval Ifriqiya. The examination follows aspects of material culture as a whole, particularly in the Western Maghreb, where urbanism was far less dense. The evidence comes largely from later texts, although new archaeological work, particularly at Rirha and Volubilis, has begun to flesh out the picture. How did Islamization actually affect the Berbers of the West? While we have little evidence for Algeria, where the excavated Islamic sites are no earlier than the tenth century, the excavations at Rirha and Volubilis – Islamic Walila – provide excellent new data as to the gradual shift in settlement types, diet, and pottery, as well as for the use of coinage. For the tenth century, Sétif and now Igīlīz add evidence for the fait accompli of the fully Islamized towns and villages of the Maghreb. Like Romanization, Islamization came about by emulation, particularly among the élites, and by a slow change to the general habitus, with far different starting points for the Arabic and Berber communities.
