Hesperia combines Arab studies with other related topics in the Mediterranean realm, seeking their place amongst the multidisciplinary interests of a cultured audience.
Volume 18 (2014) includes the following sections: 1.- Monographic issue on Algeria (7 articles); 2.- Interview with E. López Busquets; 3.- Latest news (8 articles, including: “Islam and Citizenship,” by M. Boisard; and Reviews which include: “Abd el-Kader, un spirituel dans la modernité” ("Abd el-Kader, a Spiritual Man in Modernity,” Damascus, 2012).
Hesperia attempts to communicate both historical and current information on politics, society and literature, as well as communicating specialized information to readers in general. Now it is co-published by Ibersaf and Biblioteca Viva de al-Andalus.
