Maria Rosa de Madariaga, The image and the Return of the Moor in the Collective Memory of the Spanish People and in the Civil War
In Spain after the Reconquista, the presence of an Islamic population, the Moriscos, the attacks on the Spanish coasts by the barbary pirates and Spain's occupation of strategic points in Morrocco are all factors which contributed to the creation of an image of the Moor in the collective memory of the Spanish people. Comparing the movements of popular animosity towards the Moriscos and towards the Jews who had converted to Christianity, the author explores the existence of a preracism in Spain which was founded upon the idea of « purity of blood ». In the Nineteenth Century a romantic image of the Moor appeared which complicated the earlier image and which was an outgrowth of colonial conquest. The return of the Moor in Franco's Spain crystalized past images. Today, the question of racism in Spain remains open. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
