A one-way mirror: spanish historiography facing the withdrawal of Annual (Anwal, 1921)

Bermúdez Mombiela, Alfonso Antonio

Resumen: The aim of this article is to provide a balanced review of the current state of Spanish historiography on the history of the Spanish Protectorate in Morocco, with a particular focus on the academic pieces related to the Disaster/Battle of Annual (Anwal) in 1921. A historiographic review of the broad range of academic works on the subject is conducted, evaluating the current state of this area of study at an academic level, as well as the challenges and problems faced by this type of historiography. The article concludes that while there has been a significant increase in the amount of works on Annual, not all of them have the same academic value. Additionally, Spanish historiography on the history of the Protectorate has not engaged a productive dialogue with Moroccan historiography and at the same time is marginalised within the most dominant academic spheres in the Spanish university system.
