Review: YOUSSEF AKMIR (ed.) Between Mogador and Sidi Ifni. A history of Mirages. Spaniards in southern Morocco between the 18th and 20th centuries.

Abstract

If the Protectorate of Spain in Morocco in the North zone has been the subject of numerous studies and investigations, those carried out on the Protectorate of the South zone, that is, Cape Juby (Tarfaya) and Ifni are less abundant. For this reason, the initiative of Youssef Akmir, professor of History at the University of Ibn Zohr (Agadir) and specialist in Spanish-Moroccan relations, to coordinate and edit this collective book on a region of Morocco neighboring the Spanish coasts, is laudable. not from the peninsular, but from the Canary Islands, with which that Moroccan region has maintained numerous exchanges for centuries. In this collective book, 11 specialists in Spanish-Moroccan relations participate, from both sides of the Strait, whose articles provide data and analysis, which contribute to enrich our knowledge about that southern region of Morocco.
