description The Al-Andalus, as a transhistorical concept, but also as an embodiment of certain material realities –architecture, music-, has been subject to great intellectual and public attention for several centuries. In the contemporary world, this attention ranges from controversy in Spanish historical narrative, to French romanticization, to North American academic curiosity.

The turn of this must grant the word on Al-Andalus to its owners, be they Iberian, Maghrebi or Mediterranean.
