The widespread belief that Spain and Morocco are joined through their Andalusi past—from a time when Christians, Muslims, and Jews “coexisted” in medieval Iberia—actually arose in the 1800s, as Spain’s justification for colonizing Morocco. Eric Calderwood shows how a piece of Spanish propaganda gradually became a tenet of Moroccan nationalism.
