A Peculiar Island: Maghrib and Mediterranean

Abstract

The relationship of the Maghrib to the Mediterranean in pre-modern times, especially during the long history that extended from late prehistoric times through the early Islamic period, was fundamentally unlike that of the whole circuit of lands lying north and east of the Mediterranean. The Maghrib was characterized by a peculiar insularity that created an unusual dialectic between it and the rest of the Mediterranean, an insularity whose effects can be witnessed in typically recurrent patterns found in its history during the pre-modern age.
