'''Emilio Blanco Izaga''' (1892–1949) was a Spanish military comptroller, ethnographer and architect, who developed his career in the [[Spanish Protectorate in Morocco]]. He published a number of ethnographic and architectural essays on the [[Riffians|Rif region]].
== Biography ==
Born on 15 March 1892 in [[Orduña]], Biscay, he licentiated from the [[Toledo Infantry Academy|Infantry Academy]] in 1913. He was destined to [[Larache]], in the [[Spanish Protectorate in Morocco]] in 1914. A military colonial comptroller in the Spanish protectorate of Morocco from 1927 to 1945, he served as delegate for Native Affairs from 1944 to 1945.
Ascribed to [[Africanist (Spain)|Africanism]], according to Alfonso Iglesias Amorín, Blanco fitted better a profile in the vein of the 19th-century Spanish africanists, underpinned by a greater respect for the local population, a greater awareness of the social and cultural fabric of the Protectorate, and a preference for peaceful solutions rather than the ''africanomilitarismo'' subset embodied by the likes of [[Francisco Franco]], [[José Sanjurjo]], [[Emilio Mola]], [[José Millán-Astray]] and [[Juan Yagüe]], characterised for vying for a rapid military promotion, a lesser cultural acumen and for espousing anti-democratic views.
A Berberophile, he was weary of the Arab and French influences on the [[berber people]], rejecting both Western and Arab influences in the architecture of the region. Striving towards finding an ideal style from the Riffian people, he projected a number of small buildings in the protectorate based on a mashup of ''[[ksar]]'' from Southern Morocco, [[Egyptian Revival architecture|Neo-Pharaonic egyptian architecture]] and Pre-Columbian models.
A keen researcher of the Riffian [[customary law]], he praised the perks of keeping the local assemblies in force, opposed to the influence dictated by the ''[[Makhzen]]''; he got to the point of stating "what is ridiculous (on the Part of the Spanish colonial administration) is not having protected the Rif from [[Sharia]] contamination".
He died in 1949 in [[Madrid]].
has described him as "probably the most relevant Spanish ''rifeñista'' from the 20th century".
