note = {The Almoravid Maghrib uncovers the richness and complexity of a
neglected past. A pivotal moment in the history of North Africa, the
rise of the Almoravids brought a corner of the Maghrib into closer
contact with the world around. From the Cid to the Seljuqs, the
Almoravids impressed contemporaries in ways no Maghribi regime had,
signalling a transformation of western North Africa through burgeoning
trans-Saharan and trans-Mediterranean commerce, urbanization (two of
Morocco's four imperial cities were founded), and the epic encounter
with the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures of Iberia. The
Almoravids witnessed a series of key transformations and beginnings,
including the introduction of one of the area's most successful gold
currencies, the formulation of a new religious orthodoxy, the parallel
rise of counter-movements (popular, messianic, and spiritual), and the
inception of pan-Maghribi-Andalusi artistic, literary, and
architectural styles.},
