I’ve corresponded with the author. The book is only available in French, and for those who really want it, he can send it. Please let me know and I’ll put you in touch with him.

I have googled everywhere trying to find this book by Campisi. It is not even on International Book Store on line which has everything. Can you tell me where you bought it? Thanks.

Les ressemblances entre les siciliens et les arabes sont innombrables même de nos jours. Mon livre prône pour un dialogue culturel, religieux et civilisationnel. Aucun peuple n’est supérieur à un autre. Seule une immense ignorance et stupidité, la confiscation des intelligences,à travers un savant formatage des cerveaux, basé sur des propagandes dénigrantes,ont engendré racisme, xénophobie et haine.Je dénonce donc dans mon livre la spoliation du savoir et de l’intelligence humaine de la part de l’église et du pouvoir politique.

Hmm. Really interesting idea. I’ve long been intrigued by the Moorish influence in New Mexico. You certainly see it in our adobe architecture, and in the way we paint our window frames blue (to keep away evil spirits?). Does anyone out there know more about this?

Fascinating! Perhaps when we here in New Mexico say “Mañana”, it may be a substitute for “Inshallah,” pointing back to the influence of North African Arabs on Spain, and subsequently on New Mexico.
