Focusing on the nation's Islamic-African legacy, Susan Martin-M rquez 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin-M rquez 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Martin-M疵quez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300125208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300125207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 6.40w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 17","brand":"Susan Martin-M疵quez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540317663487,"sku":"9780300125207","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72e63c02-ae2a-47f7-a269-ada2b2df6125.jpg?v=1700587225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disorientations-susan-martin-m-rquez-9780300125207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
