Santana The visible presence of Jewish, Arabic and Roman cultures (e.g. in architecture, literature, music and the Spanish language) attests to Spain's diversity despite repeated attempts by its leaders to expulse, convert and suppress multicultural elements. In recent decades, the rise in immigration from Latin America and the Maghreb has once again put into question Spain's never very stable sense of nation. How does Spanish literature represent, contest, and construct Spanish national ideology, which has so often relied on militantly differentiating itself from the so-called "Moor," and other religious andethnic minorities Prerequisite: Spanish 44 or equivalent. Offered every year.
