Abstract
This article examines Andalusian society during the caliphal period by focusing on the weakening of tribal and sectarian bonds. It discusses how earlier identities linked to lineage, ethnic origin, and religious or political affiliation were gradually transformed under the effects of state formation, urban life, social mobility, and cultural integration. The study situates this transformation within the broader history of Islamic Spain and analyzes the ways in which the caliphal order contributed to reshaping social relations. It argues that the decline of older forms of solidarity did not simply erase difference, but reorganized it within new political, administrative, and cultural frameworks.
