Long regarded as the preserve of French scholars and Francophone
audiences due to its significance to France's colonial empire,
North Africa is increasingly recognized for its own singular
importance as a crossover region. Situated where Islamic,
Mediterranean, African, and European histories intersect, the
Maghrib has long acted as a cultural conduit, mediator and broker.
From the medieval era, when the oasis of Sijilmasa in the Moroccan
wilderness funnelled caravan loads of gold into international
networks, through the 16th century when two superpowers, the
Ottomans and the Spanish Hapsburgs, battled for mastery of the
Mediterranean along the North African frontier, and well into the
20th century which witnessed one of Africa's cruellest wars unfold
in "French Algeria," the Maghrib has retained its uniqueness as a
place where worlds meet.
