Add Tag | Summary: | LONGING FOR ANDALUSIA delves into the suffering of the Abu Jaafar family in the midst of the collapse of the city of Cordova. Hundreds of his favorite books were burned by the Castilian army at the site of Bab el-Ramlah. The Granada Inquisition confiscated all Arabic books from mosques, resource centers, schools and individuals. The mosque was converted into a church and cathedral. If you want to be safe, just ask to be baptized as a Christian. Abu Jaafar's descendants survived to become Muslims. Inside the house they prayed and communicated in Arabic but outside the house they spoke Castilian, used baptismal names and attended "holy missions" on Sundays at church. Until when will Saleemah, Saad, Hassan, Mariama and all the descendants of Abu Jaafar be able to maintain the faith? Can they survive the cruelty lurking behind that "holy mission"? - RADWA ASHOUR ; ialah profesor sastera Inggeris di Universiti Ain Shams, Mesir.
