The sea in Morocco, the mediator between practice and perception

The book / The sea in medieval Morocco explores the presence of the sea in the lives of the inhabitants of medieval Morocco on both practical and mental levels. On the practical level, it addresses practices such as fishing, trade, wars, and encampments. On the mental level, it analyzes the symbols and perceptions produced by the Moroccan imagination, in which religious, political, and economic dualities intertwine. The book highlights how internal and external transformations have governed the formation of this multi-dimensional relationship with the sea.
