ENTRE AMBAS ORILLAS.ENSAYOS DE HISTORIA HISPANO-MAGREBÍES
Entre ambas orillas recoge seis trabajos presentados y debatidos en diferentes foros durante estos dos últimos años. Todos ellos están al servicio del diálogo entre España y los países del norte de África, muy en particular –deformación profesional obliga- con Marruecos. Se trata de ensayos eruditos que abordan cuestiones de actualidad, por muy antiguo que sea el marco temporal que se ha elegido aquí para su presentación y desarrollo: la frontera y su corolario fatal, el conflicto; el recurrente leit motiv del reformismo en el ámbito político y religioso del mundo árabe-islámico; las precepciones y reacciones hispano-magrebíes a lo largo de los siglos XVIII-XX. En fin, Entre ambas orillas es –como su sobretítulo proclama- un palimpsesto de temas localizables siempre en el almanaque que recoge las vicisitudes históricas habientes entre el sur de Tarifa y el norte de Espartel.
El colonialismo hispanofrancés en Marruecos, 1898-1927
Al abordar –por vez primera en la historiografía española- el estudio de las fuerzas motrices del colonialismo español posnoventayochista en Marruecos, además de intentar cuantificar el volumen de los intereses peninsulares en el norte de África, el número de oficialidad y tropas movilizadas y las repercusiones presupuestarias de la "acción" española en el fronterizo dominio del Majzén, señala también el autor el cisma que origina la empresa colonial en la clase política y en la opinión pública de la España de la Restauración, apuntando siempre a nuevas posibilidades de aproximación a un tema confiscado hasta el presente por los dispensadores del conocimiento histórico. En el último ensayo se resume la trayectoria del colonialismo francés en Marruecos, colonialismo que jugó -para España- el papel de caballo de Troya que le permitía arreciar tanto en su penetración pacífica como en sus campañas de sometimiento entre 1904 y 1927.
DIÁLOGOS RIBEREÑOS II. CONVERSACIONES CON MIEMBROS DE LA ÉLITE TUNECINA
En tiempos de greñas, altercados y conflictos armados –sobre todo– en el reñidero internacional desde 1989, las relaciones entre España y Túnez han sido en el siglo XX una excepción al clima de antagonismo que viene gobernando la convivencia en aguas del Mediterráneo a partir de 1945. En esta aportación documental a la serie Diálogos Ribereños que viene impulsando el Seminario de Fuentes Orales y Gráficas (Instituto Universitario de Investigación-UNED), se recogen testimonios de excepción sobre el entramado de percepciones euro-magrebíes tanto en siglos de esplendor islámico como en la época de apogeo colonial europeo en el Magreb. La Universidad de La Manuba (Túnez capit...
North Africa
North Africa differs from the Middle East in several significant ways. It was subject to a uniform colonial experience as part of the French empire; its populations are far more culturally homogeneous than those of the Middle East; and, since the Reconquista, it has always been far more susceptible to European influences than has the Middle East. It has thus had a far better basis for regional integration and for effective state formation than has the Middle East itself. In the post-Cold War world, North Africa took on a new significance for Europe as issues of migration and regional trade began to dominate the European agenda. This book, first published in 1993, endeavours to investigate the background to the political developments of modern North Africa. It not only looks at the pre-colonial past but also investigates the effect of the colonial period itself on the regional dimension in view of the creation of the UMA, a confederal regional organisation, in early 1989. The contributors to this volume are all people with long experience of the North African political and historical scene.
In the Shadow of the Holocaust and the Inquisition
This is an analysis of the reasons for the failure of all efforts to establish diplomatic relations between Israel and Francoist Spain from the late 1940s to the mid-1970s. It uncovers the political discussions and the diplomatic moves of each country.
Tribe and Society in Rural Morocco
An anthropological study of Berber society and particularly the Rifian tribes of Morocoo, a Muslim society. This book deals with the background of these tribes, their settlement in various areas and contemporary issues.
Examining Colonial Wars and Their Impact on Contemporary Military History
Colonial wars have been a very active part of 19th and 20th century history and their importance has often been overlooked. Their study and analysis, in order to understand the contemporary world and current international relations, is as necessary as it is interesting. Examining Colonial Wars and Their Impact on Contemporary Military History approaches the phenomenon of colonial wars with the intention of understanding the most immediate past in order to analyze the contemporary and current scenarios with new tools. It contributes to the dissemination of content without neglecting the considerations of social sciences and history, with a compilation and analytical character. Covering topics such as black-market armaments, imperialism, and military history, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for historians, anthropologists, sociologists, government officials, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Crescent Remembered
Contemporary Spain and Portugal share a historical experience as Iberian states which emerged within the context of al-Andalus. These centuries of Muslim presence in the Middle Ages became a contested heritage during the process of modern nation-building with its varied concepts and constructs of national identities. Politicians, historians and intellectuals debated vigorously the question how the Muslim past could be reconciled with the idea of the Catholic nation. The Crescent Remembered investigates the processes of exclusion and integration of the Islamic past within the national narratives. It analyses discourses of historiography, Arabic studies, mythology, popular culture and colonial policies towards Muslim populations from the 19th century to the dictatorships of Franco and Salazar in the 20th century. In particular, it explores why, despite apparent historical similarities, in Spain and Portugal entirely different strategies and discourses concerning the Islamic past emerged. In the process, it seeks to shed light on the role of the Iberian Peninsula as a crucial European historical "contact zone" with Islam.
