That is why the word "Andalusia" still possesses an emotional force far greater than its geographical meaning. Perhaps this is why migration has become much more than an economic or humanitarian question. "The Resurrection of Andalusia" is therefore not the resurrection of a lost caliphate. It is the resurrection of a question that many Europeans believed had been settled forever: where does Europe end—not only geographically, but culturally and politically? And sometimes the most powerful resurrection is not that of an empire, but of a memory that a civilisation believed it had long since left behind.
