Barbara Fuchs, a Professor at UCLA, explores the themes of Maurophilia and the cultural construction of early modern Spain in her works. She directs the Center for 17th and 18th Century Studies and has authored notable publications, including "Exotic Nation" and the plays "The Bagnios of Algiers" and "The Great Sultana," which delve into the narratives of captivity. Her scholarship offers insights into the interplay of identity and cultural representation during a transformative period in Spanish history.
