"Ozmín y Daraja" appears as one of the intercalated novels in the first part of Mateo Alemán’s Guzmán de Alfarache (1599). Although its plot has been included as one of the most significant works of the Moorish novel, the treatment of literary maurophilia is subordinated to the expression of a more general mode of thought on the problem of exclusion in the Golden Age, which Alemán camouflages under an innocent narration of a story of love affairs with a happy ending.
