2.0 out of 5 stars MAPS?
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent scholarly text, which should be 4 or 5 stars. However, there are no maps whatsoever. There is nothing worse (in my opinion) than an author's narrative - on and on and on - of information that could be easily depicted with maps. I found the lack of maps highly unusual for a book of this calibre, which depends so much on simple geography.

3.0 out of 5 stars New 2005 edition thoroughly revised
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2013
Spega's review is more than unfair. First, basic courtesy would demand spelling the author's name right -- "Glick", not "Gluck". Second, the use of "Moors/Arabs" in the review sets the wrong cultural register. Is Spega using "Moors" to evoke the Spanish "moros", or in the antiquated sense of Shakespearean "Blackamoors", or out of ignorance? "Moors" is an obsolete, meaningless, and arguably offensive term. Moreover, "Moor" does not equal "Arab", and in any case most of the contingents that initially moved into the fractured and bickering quasi-Visigothic Iberia were ethnically Berber. That makes a considerable difference. Not every speaker and reader of Arabic is or was an "Arab", culturally or ethnically, as Spega certainly realizes. I speak and read Arabic, and I am not "Arab" by any stretch of the imagination (actually, I am genetically Celtic). Finally, whether new finds have "definitely" undermined Glick's thesis is quite questionable. So is the definition of "decline" and the definition of what exactly we might mean by "Roman civilization" by the time we have reached the late 600s CE. Arguably, the vicious factional (doctrinal) struggles and the fairly convoluted jockeying for regional positions of influence that marked the history of the later fourth and fifth century Church, as well as the subsequent Byzantine attempt to re-establish a shaky Mediterranean maritime hegemony, did more to undermine any possible residual sense of localized "Roman" identities (not to speak of _one_ "Roman" identity) than the arrival in Iberia of Islamized Berbers in any case imprinted in various respects with the same residual and fractured "Roman" stamp as everybody else around the Mediterranean, including the "Arabs" of Spega's review. I also wonder whether Spega did actually read the 2005 revised second edition of Glick, issued by Brill.

Spega
2.0 out of 5 stars Thesis outstripped by new archaeological discoveries
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2013
Gluck has an interesting thesis: that the invasion of the Visigoths in 6th-7th c. Spain marked the end of Roman civilization which was only returned to cultural sophistication by the Arabs. Unfortunately, his basis for this view is factually scanty and as recent archaeological and literary finds have now definitely established the decline came much later--parallel to (and perhaps because of) the invasion of the Moors/Arabs.
