snarpAcademic stuff, pop history, fiction, whatever. I've read Elizabeth Wein's novels (of course!) and some of Richard Pankhurst's academic stuff.
What I'm looking for in particular:
* Stuff by people who are actually from the region. And uh, preferably not white people. Yeah.
* Anything about Gudit/Judith. Or Bani al-Hamwiyah, or the Queen of Sheba, for that matter! Women in positions of political power.
* Primary sources that are not puzzled European Christians. Puzzled Muslims from anywhere would be interesting, though.
* Details about day-to-day life stuff for normal non-aristocrat people.
* Details about diplomacy with other nations, particularly primarily-Muslim ones.
