White Wall of Spain: The Mysteries of Andalusian Culture

This book takes a brisk trip through the past, from the ancient Phoenicians and Maimonides to a Pablo Picasso retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 1980. It spans more than three thousand years of Andalusian civilisation.

Allen Josephs concentrates on what has set Andalusia apart through history. He looks at its Oriental origins, its ancient trade and industry, and the cultural traits that followed.

Readers of Spanish history and culture, and travellers who want background on Andalusia, will find the book a helpful introduction.
