Using a cultural studies approach, this book explores how the Spanish colonization of North Africa continues to haunt Spain's efforts to articulate a national identity that can accommodate both the country's diversity, brought about by immigration from its old colonies, and the postnational demands of its integration in the European Union.
"Memories of the Maghreb moves seemingly effortlessly from the nineteenth to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from canonical to (currently) non-canonical texts, from Morocco and the Saharawi of the Maghreb to Spain (and back), and from Spain to the rest of Europe and even to Cuba. This is an intelligent and very rich work that initiates a long-awaited conversation on the Spanish colonial presence in the Maghreb." Ellen Mayock, Ernest Williams II Professor of Spanish, Washington and Lee University
