Disorientations - Spanish Colonialism in Africa and the Performance of Identity

Explores from a perspective the fraught processes of Spaniards' efforts to formulate a national identity, from the Enlightenment onwards. Focusing on the nation's Islamic-African legacy, this book disputes received wisdom that Spain has consistently rejected its historical relationship to Muslims and Africans.
