| Abstract: | This article examines how the Hispano-Moroccan cultural domain encountered and maintained contact with the cultural domain of the West African Savannah. More particularly, it evaluates the cultural features which were adopted, adapted and retained by West Africa, and those which were absent, ignored or rejected. Historically the cultural exchange must have started before the Fatimids who left Ifrikya (Tunisia) in 973. Notes, ref. |
