Vingtième Siècle. Revue d'histoire - Année 1991 - Volume 32 - Numéro 1 - Pages 43-52North Africa and Europe : what is one to do with the Mediterranean ? Kasem Basfao, Jean-Robert Henry. There is a psychological tension between the Maghrib and Europe, whose strength is additional to the diplomatie, demographie and economic stakes. Dream of a unifying Mediterranean, lost Andalusia, modernity, wealth of a common heritage : the fantasies meet and cancel out. The scenarios of the future do not justify much optimism : the Mediterranean is a ditch as much as a link. 10 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
