All the communities, as they met a daunting series of challenges over many periods, unwaveringly struggled to preserve their identity and to hand it on to their descendants. One might say that eventually Spanish Islam failed, for that Hispano-Islamic identity did not survive into the modern world ( apart from those nostalgic memories of al-Andalus present in North Africa ) . This study is not conceived as a study of failure, however, rather as a record of a courageous and stubborn defense.
