Book Description
Excerpt from Morocco the Piquant: Or Life in Sunset Land Follow the red lines representing the routes of the transatlantic liners plying between New York and Gibraltar, move your pencil an eighth of an inch due south from "The Rock," and it will rest upon a tiny black dot marked "Tangier." The Orient has many so-called gateways, and of these Tangier is the nearest to the Occident. One may enter through others - Algiers, Tripoli, Tunis, Cairo - but nowhere will one find a truer East than that offered by Morocco. During the two hours occupied in crossing from Gibraltar to Tangier, one passes from the twentieth century to the tenth, from West to East, from present to past. There is, as Pierre Loti says, "a white shroud which comes over one, stopping all the stress of modern life: the ancient shroud of Islam." We are in a new world, a new humanity. One plunges blindly into the midst of a civilization which has not changed perceptibly since the days of Moses.

Book Description
A historical reference work on Morocco must take as its subject al-maghrib al-aqsa (the far west) as the Arabic scholars have generally referred to the approximate region of present-day Morocco, roughly the north-west corner of Africa but at times including much of the Iberian peninsula, because the modern nation-state is a relatively recent creation owing much to events in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. External influences on Morocco tend to come across the narrow straits of Gibraltar to the north, from the east along the Mediterranean litoral, or up from the Sahara. In each case, access is constrained by geography and continued control from outside the region has been difficult to manage over the long term. Although many of the dynasties that came to power in Morocco conquered much broader regions, history and topology have so conspired that there is still more coherence to an historical focus on al-maghrib al-aqsa than is the case for most modern nation-states. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Morocco contains a chronology, an introduction, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Morocco.
