Abstract

This contribution is a review of Mohamed Abrighach's work, Moros con letras en la costa. Introducción a la literatura marroquí en lengua española, Madrid, Diwan Mayrit, 2024, 297 pp. Its characteristics, namely the understanding of the literary phenomenon as a historical fact, the attention to the book as an object in a framework of publishing and distribution, the systematic compilation of almost everything previously written about these works and the coherent analysis of them, make it a "new critical base to the study of Hispanophone-African literatures".

Author Biography

  • Luis García-Vela, Universidad de Zaragoza

    (Zaragoza, 2002). With a degree in Hispanic Philology from the University of Zaragoza (2024), he has participated in several conferences in Spain (Salamanca, Granada, Zaragoza...) and in the United States (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). He is a member of PSA (Postcolonial Studies Association), ICLA (International Comparative Literature Association), Mediterranean Seminar (University of Colorado at Boulder) and Plus Ultra Collective (University of Colorado). He currently participates in the NYMUEEH 2.0 research group at the University of Zaragoza and is an intern at the Doctorate School of the same university. In addition, he has received scholarships to attend several Summer Schools including those at Charles University (2024), and the University of Oxford (2025).

    His areas of research are Hispanophone-Maghrebi poetry, Aljamiado Literature and Aragonese Poetry. On the one hand, he launched the iniciative CoPoHiM (Corpus de Poesía Hispanomagrebí), a project analyzing Hispanophone-Maghrebi poetic production using digital tools like Nodegoat. He has studied authors such as Mohamed Chakor, Aziz Amahjour, Farah Jerari or Khédija Gadhoum. On the other hand, he has studied the work of Ibrahim Taybili, Mohamed Rabadan ('Discurso de la luz'), the Aljamiado versions of the Book of Job (with Pablo Trébol García-Arilla, University of Zaragoza)

    Currently, he is preparing a monograph on Hispanophone-Maghrebi poetry (Voices between two shores. An introduction to Hispanophone-Maghrebi Poetry, 2026), supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education in Rabat, and co-editing the Complete Poetry of Julio Antonio Gómez with Laura Moreno Aragüés. His doctoral thesis, directed by Antonio Pérez Lasheras and Alberto Montaner Frutos, will focus on the Aljamiado Poem of Yūsuf.
