Summary: "Storia dei musulmani di Sicilia, vol. II" by Michele Amari is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the political and legal structures of the Muslim community in Sicily during the time of their rule following the decline of Byzantine influence. It provides a thorough examination of the governance, property rights, and societal dynamics among the various groups that populated Sicily during the Muslim period. The opening of the work highlights the contrast between the earlier Byzantine society and the more vibrant and active Muslim community that succeeded it. It begins with a detailed analysis of the political governance under various dynasties, particularly focusing on the role of the emir and the intricate nature of local authority. Amari outlines how emirs exercised substantial power often independent of the caliphate, which set the stage for subsequent local governance challenges. The text also touches on the emergence of social tensions between different ethnic and tribal groups, such as Arabs and Berbers, as well as between the local population and their rulers, reflecting a rich tapestry of interactions that characterized that historical period.
