Spanning the Strait: Studies in Unity in the Western Mediterranean brings together a multidisciplinary collection of essays that examines the deep connections that bound together the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghrib in the medieval and early modern periods. Six articles on topics ranging from the eighth-century slave trade to sixteenth-century apocalypticism trace and analyze movement, mutual influence and patterns shared in the face of political, religious, and cultural difference. By transcending traditional disciplinary and temporal divisions, this collection of essays highlights the long history of contact and exchange that united the two sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. A comprehensive introduction by the editors contextualizes the articles within the last half-century of scholarship and salient contemporary trends. Contributors are Adam Gaiser, Linda G. Jones, Hussein Fancy, S.J. Pearce, David Coleman, and Marya T. Green-Mercado.

Con la llegada de la colonización y la ocupación española del sur de Marruecos entre finales del siglo XIX y buena parte del siglo XX se forjaron unas relaciones tensas en muchos momentos pero también pacificas en otros, que pivotaron en torno a la ocupación del territorio y el mantenimiento del orden colonial, la explotación económica de los recursos naturales y al asentamiento de emigrantes españoles, escasos ciertamente, en busca de nuevas oportunidades. El desembarco de tropas españolas en las costas de Sidi Ifni, en 1934 y su consiguiente ocupación, significaron para el gobierno de Madrid realizar el anhelado proyecto colonial de SANTA CRUZ DE LA MAR PEQUEÑA, que debía propi...
Esta obra se publicó con motivo del centenario de la creación del Protectorado español en Marruecos. A estos efectos, trece profesores de Universidad han reunido sus esfuerzos para ofrecer al lector una trama argumental lo más amplia, objetiva y completa posible del Protectorado que España ejerció en Marruecos desde 1912 hasta 1956, centrándose preferentemente en los aspectos político-administrativos e institucionales más relevantes. No es, por tanto, una Historia definitiva, pero sí una perspectiva metodológica imprescindible. En ese año de 1912 cuando se inicia uno de los episodios de nuestra Historia, que más tópicos ha producido en el imaginarios histórico hispano: el desa...
The failure to manage cultural diversity in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea in an egalitarian manner has been linked to the hallmark of colonialism. First, because the policy practiced upon Arabs and Moroccan Imazighen since the French colonization comprised one of the reasonings employed to justify the pro-Arab policies developed after independence. Second, because the discriminatory policy deployed by Spain in Equatorial Guinea, was overridden by the installation of a dictatorship that established a system of Fang predominance. This book clarifies the degree to which the Spanish colonization is responsible for the present-day management of cultural diversity in both countries.
This book provides various examples showing how Europe and Africa can be conceptualized and researched as a single macro-area connected by interrelated, global and multilevel dynamics. What types of relations characterize Europe and Africa today? The nature of the connections is neither clear nor unilinear: rather, they appear dialectical, multifaceted and pointing in different directions. This edited book explores narratives, contemporary dynamics and historical legacies demonstrating the long-standing relations between the continents, suggesting that the entangled Euro-African relations in multiple fields should be intended as a permanent condition for any analyses. The authors provide var...
