What is Andalus : unlocking the secrets of Moorish Spain about?
As Islam and the West prepare to clash once again, Jason Webster embarks on a quest to discover Spain's hidden Moorish legacy and lift the lid on a country once forged by both Muslims and Christians. He meets Zine, a young illegal immigrant from Morocco, a twenty-first century Moor, lured over with the promise of a job but exploited as a slave labourer on a fruit farm. Jason's life is threatened as he investigates the agricultural gulag, Zine rescues him, and the unlikely pair of writer and desperado take off on a rollercoaster ride through Andalucía. While Jason unveils the neglected Arab ancestry of modern Spain -- apparent in its food, language, people and culture -- Zine sets out on his own parallel quest, a one-man peace mission to resolve Muslim--Christian tensions by proving irresistible to Spanish señoritas.
