DESCRIPTION:Jamón and Halal: Lessons in Tolerance from Rural Andalucía\n\
 n \n\nContemporary Spain reflects broader patterns of globalization and ha
 s been the site of tensions between nationalists and immigrants. This case
  study examines a rural town in Spain’s Andalucía in order to shed ligh
 t on the workings of coexistence. The town of Órgiva’s diverse populati
 on includes hippies from across Europe\, European converts to Sufi Islam\,
  and immigrants from North Africa. Christina Civantos combines the analysi
 s of written and visual cultural texts with oral narratives from residents
 . In this book\, we see that although written and especially televisual na
 rratives about the town highlight tolerance and multiculturalism\, they ma
 sk tensions and power differentials. Toleration is an ongoing negotiation 
 and this book shows us how we can identify the points of contact that crea
 te robust\, respect-based tolerance.\n\n \n\nChristina Civantos is a Profe
 ssor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the Universi
 ty of Miami. She is the author of Between Argentines and Arabs: Argentine 
 Orientalism\, Arab Immigrants\, and the Writing of Identity (SUNY) and The
  Afterlife of al-Andalus: Muslim Iberia in Contemporary Arab and Hispanic 
 Narratives (SUNY).
