Guns Culture and Moors

<p>The history of the Moroccan troops in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) is the story of an encounter between two culturally and ethnically different people and the attempts by both sides Moroccan and Spanish to take control of this contact. This book shows to what extent colonials could participate in negotiating limits and taboos rather than being only on the receiving end of them. The examination of this encounter in its military religious as well as sexual aspects sheds new light on colonial relations and on how unique or typical the Spanish colonial case is in comparison to other European ones.</p>
