Abstract
La historiografía, en particular la española, ha mostrado tradicionalmente fuertes prejuicios
ideológicos a la hora de abordar el estudio de al-Andalus. Buena parte de los estereotipos más difundidos
se vinculan al paradigma de la Reconquista, que ha ejercido una influencia hegemónica en España
durante el período franquista (1936-1975) y que en la actualidad sigue gozando de una amplia difusión
en el ámbito de los estudios medievales. En este trabajo se analizan algunos de los prejuicios negativos
más habituales vinculados a dicho paradigma y relativos a la actuación en al-Andalus de las dinastías
beréberes (almorávides, almohades y meriníes) entre los siglos XIV y XV.
Traditionally, ideological prejudices have been plaguing the study of al-Andalus, especially in Spanish scholarship. Some of the most commonly-held stereotypes are connected to the paradigm of the Reconquista, which reached a rather hegemonic position in Spain over the Francoist period (1936- 1975) and still remains currently highly influential in the field of Medieval Studies. This article aims to explain how these ideological prejudices affect the study of Almoravids, Almohads and Merinids, the three Berber dynasties which played a key role in al-Andalus across 11-14th centuries.
