In the Shadow of Al-Andalus

By Víctor Hernández Cruz

Cruz explores the nexus of Islamic artistic influences in Spain, Puerto Rico, and North Africa.

These poems mine the rich history and broad influence of Islam in Spain and beyond, and illuminate connections between places as diverse and far-flung as Puerto Rican villages, the bustling streets of New York, and the sun-drenched beaches of Morocco.
