The Rus in Arabic Sources Cultural Contacts and Identity is a book that explores the cultural contacts and identity of the Rus, a medieval Eastern Slavic people who lived in the territories of present-day Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. The book examines the historical records of the Rus in Arabic sources, providing valuable insights into their social, political, and religious practices. It also delves into the challenges faced by the Rus during their interactions with other cultures, particularly the Islamic world, and how these encounters shaped their identity and understanding of themselves. The book begins with an introduction to the history of the Rus, their geographical location, and their cultural practices. It then delves into the various sources of information about the Rus, including Arabic texts from the time period, such as the works of Ibn Rustah and Al-Mas'udi. These sources provide a unique perspective on the Rus, offering insight into their daily lives, beliefs, and customs. One of the key themes of the book is the concept of jihad, or holy war, and its impact on the Rus. The author argues that the idea of jihad was used by the Arabs to justify their conquests of the Rus lands, but it also had a profound effect on the Rus themselves. The book explores how the Rus responded to this idea, both resisting and adapting to it in different ways. Another important theme is the role of religion in the development of the Rus identity.
The Rus in Arabic Sources Cultural Contacts and Identity - книга, исследующая культурные контакты и идентичность русов, средневекового восточнославянского народа, жившего на территориях нынешней России, Украины и Белоруссии. Книга рассматривает исторические записи русов в арабских источниках, предоставляя ценную информацию об их социальных, политических и религиозных практиках. Он также углубляется в проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются русы во время их взаимодействия с другими культурами, особенно исламским миром, и как эти встречи сформировали их идентичность и понимание себя. Книга начинается с введения в историю Руси, их географического положения, их культурных практик. Затем он углубляется в различные источники информации о русах, включая арабские тексты того времени, такие как работы Ибн Рустаха и Аль-Масуди. Эти источники дают уникальный взгляд на Русь, предлагая понимание их повседневной жизни, верований и обычаев. Одной из ключевых тем книги является концепция джихада, или священной войны, и ее влияние на Русь. Автор утверждает, что идея джихада использовалась арабами для оправдания их завоеваний на землях Руси, но она также оказала глубокое влияние на самих русов. Книга исследует, как Русь откликнулась на эту идею, как сопротивляясь, так и приспосабливаясь к ней по-разному. Еще одна важная тема - роль религии в развитии идентичности Руси.
