This book explores from a new perspective the fraught processes of
Spaniards' efforts to formulate a national identity, from the
Enlightenment to the present day. Focusing on the nation's
Islamic-African legacy, Susan Martin-Marquez disputes received
wisdom that Spain has consistently rejected its historical
relationship to Muslims and Africans. Instead, she argues,
Spaniards have sometimes denied and sometimes embraced this legacy,
and that vacillation has served to destabilize presumably fixed
borders between Europe and the Muslim world and between Europe and
Africa. Martin-Marquez analyzes a wealth of texts produced by
Spaniards as well as by Africans and Afro-Spaniards from the early
nineteenth century forward. She illuminates the complexities and
disorientations of Spanish identity and shows how its evolution has
important implications for current debates not only in Spanish
culture but also in other countries involved in negotiating a
modern identity.
