Tangier in first person
From January 23, 2012 until February 29, 2012
This book by Carlos Hernández (Colectivo Tangerjabibi, 2011) gathers exceptional graphic testimonies and memories from the Spanish community in Tangier. Because of its special status, the city had more than fifty thousand Spanish people registered as inhabitants during the mid-fifties.
During the first half of the 20th Century, many Spaniards headed towards the North of Africa. Some of them were looking for jobs, others were there due to the institutions of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco, and others due to political reasons. Oran, Tangier, Tetouan, Larache, Casablanca or Villa Cisneros, those cities shape that geography and particular memory.
