The medina of Chefchaouen represents an architectural heritage of great value and its building culture constitutes a repertoire of knowledge to be safeguarded as an expression of cultural diversity in the relationship between society and nature. The volume presents the results of an in-depth research on the knowledge system that constitutes the local building culture of the medina, highlighting the characteristics of the construction systems, the risks to which the traditional heritage is subject, and its contribution to the development of a sustainable habitat. The book addresses the theme of the built heritage of the medina with an interdisciplinary approach, which includes architecture as part of a system that has to be studied along with the natural, social and cultural contexts.

Die marokkanische Stadt Tanger liegt an der Straße von Gibraltar, auf der Schwelle von Europa und Afrika, Orient und Okzident. Hier gründeten Diplomaten aus bis zu 13 verschiedenen Staaten ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts internationale Organisationen, die die Basis für eine von 1923 bis 1956 bestehende Sonderverwaltungszone bildeten. Die Internationalisierung der Stadt wird von der Autorin nicht nur in die Kolonialgeschichte Marokkos eingeordnet, sondern selbst als eine spezifische Form der kolonialen Herrschaft, als „geteilter Kolonialismus", konzeptualisiert. Diesen untersucht sie über einen Zeitraum von rund 100 Jahren und anhand stadtplanerischer Infrastrukturprojekte wie dem Bau von Kanalisation und Schlachthaus. Auf diese Weise wird am Beispiel der Stadt Tanger sichtbar, wie sich globale und lokale Entwicklungsprozesse gegenseitig bedingten und einen klar definierten Raum nachhaltig prägten. Erstmals konnte die Autorin für diese Studie weit verstreute Akten aus den Archiven internationaler Organisationen zusammentragen und mit dem Ansatz der transnationalen Geschichte auswerten. Daniela Hettstedt erhielt 2020 für ihre Studie den Dissertationspreis der "Gesellschaft für Stadtgeschichte und Urbanisierungsforschung". The international history of the city of Tangier begins long before its time as a specific administrative zone. As early as 1840, the city became the seat of important commissions that controlled access to the Strait of Gibraltar on behalf of infrastructure projects and shaped the cityscape. Daniela Hettstedt examines the intertwining of international and colonial mechanisms of rule as "shared colonialism" in its local consequences.

In the vein of the writings of Paul Bowles, Paul Theroux, and V. S. Naipaul, The African Shore marks a major new installment in the genre of dystopic travel fiction. Rodrigo Rey Rosa, prominent in today's Guatemalan literary world and an author of growing international reputation, presents a tale of alienation, misrecognition, and intrigue set in and around Tangier. He weaves a double narrative involving a Colombian tourist pleasurably stranded in Morocco and a young shepherd who dreams of migrating to Spain and of "riches to come." At the center of their tale is an owl both treasured and coveted. The author addresses the anxiety, distrust, and potential for violence that characterize the border of all borders: the strait that divides Africa and Europe, where the waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic meet. His often-remarked prose style, at once rich and spare, endows his work with remarkable elegance. Rey Rosa generates a powerful reality within his imagined world, and he maintains a narrative tension to the haunting conclusion, raising small and large questions that linger in the reader's mind long after the final page.
