The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians Under Islam is a history book on the dhimmi peoples - the non-Arab and non-Muslim communities subjected to Muslim domination after the conquest of their territories by Arabs [1] by Bat Ye'or.

Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination. The Muslim empire incorporated numerous peoples which had their own religion, culture, land, and civilization.

Dhimma is the status conferred by Islamic law on the "people of the (revealed) scripture" (Ahl al-kitāb ); and dhimmī refers to a person who possesses that status. Source for information on Dhimmi: New Catholic Encyclopedia dictionary.

The status of the dhimmis was secured by a legal institution called dhimma ("protection"), which guaranteed safety for their life, body, and property, as well as freedom of movement and religious practice on condition of their acknowledging the domination of Islam.

A dhimmi is a non-Muslim subject living in an Islamic state who is granted protection and certain rights in exchange for paying a tax known as the jizya.
