Lecture “Ismaʿili revolts in their wider historical context (9th-10th c. CE)”, Institute of Ismaili Studies — Online, 28 October 2021

Ismaʿili revolts in their wider historical context (9th-10th c. CE)
28th October 2021
Islamic History and Thought Lecture Series

The ninth and tenth centuries CE are famous for the series of Ismāʿīlī revolts that broke out across rural areas in Iraq, Syria, North Africa, and elsewhere. Seldom acknowledged is that these revolts occurred around the same time as a host of other rural insurgencies in different regions led by different groups, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. The purpose of this lecture is to examine the Ismāʿīlī revolts against this wider backdrop and to assess what these movements reveal about the spread of Islam in remote, rural environments and the capacity of these environments to produce new political and religious powers.

Time: 2.00 pm – 4.00 pm (UK)
