    The object of this research is divided among phenomena observed in al-Andalús, in North Africa, with the peculiarity that data from America and its languages can help to clarify certain points and, finally, in Palestine. There is therefore a historical journey and a synchronous investigation. This has given rise to reflections that relate…[Read more]
