Book Description
At last we are beginning to learn as much about the French empire as the British, so that generalizations about imperialism need not continue to be skewed, as they hav,e been in the past, by drawing too many of our data from the British experience. The present study makes a major contribution in this direction, providing as it does the first nearly definitive account of a central series of episodes in the French, African, and Islamic experiences with imperialism.

Revisiting the Colonial Past in Morocco
Author: Driss MaghraouiPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134061749
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Exploring the concept of ‘colonial cultures,’ this book analyses how these cultures both transformed, and were transformed by, their various societies. Challenging both the colonial vulgate, and the nationalist paradigm, Revisiting the Colonial Past in Morocco, examines the lesser known specificities of particular moments, practices and institutions in Morocco, with the aim of uncovering a ‘new colonial history.’ By examining society on a micro-level, this book raises the profiles of the mass of Moroccans who were highly influential in the colonial period yet have been excluded from the historical record because of a lack of textual source material. Introducing social and cultural history, gender studies and literary criticism to the more traditional economic, political and military studies, the book promotes a more complex and nuanced understanding of Moroccan colonial history. Employing new theoretical and methodological approaches, this volume encourages a re-assessment of existing work and promotes a more interdisciplinary approach to the colonial history of Morocco. Revisiting the Colonial Past in Morocco is a highly topical and useful addition to literature on the subject and will be of interest to students and scholars of History, Imperialism and more generally, Middle Eastern Studies.
The Mellah of Marrakesh
Author: Emily GottreichPublisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253218632
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
" The Mellah of Marrakesh] captures the vibrancy of Jewish society in Marrakesh in the tumultuous last decades prior to colonial rule and in the first decades of life in the colonial era. Although focused on the Jewish community, it offers a compelling portrait of the political, social, and economic issues confronting all of Morocco and sets a new standard for urban social history." --Dale F. Eickelman Weaving together threads from Jewish history and Islamic urban studies, The Mellah of Marrakesh situates the history of what was once the largest Jewish quarter in the Arab world in its proper historical and geographical contexts. Although framed by coverage of both earlier and later periods, the book focuses on the late 19th century, a time when both the vibrancy of the mellah and the tenacity of longstanding patterns of inter-communal relations that took place within its walls were being severely tested. How local Jews and Muslims, as well as resident Europeans lived the big political, economic, and social changes of the pre- and early colonial periods is reconstructed in Emily Gottreich's vivid narrative. Published with the generous support of the Koret Foundation.

Book Description
... marching with our squadron in a line formation, we made a left turn and then a hard stop in a ravine; shortly after, the better mounted officers took the lead and went up a slope. We then marched three hundred meters from where the rest of the force remained, we were ferociously attacked by a large enemy force. Cpt. Despujol, Lt. Sáenz de Tejada and I, Lt. Martínez, responded with our pistols, causing many casualties to the rebels... 31st March 1924, Midar, Morocco The Second Moroccan War (1921-1927) is known as the conflict where Spain had to defend its Protectorate in Morocco, in the region known as the Rif, from a violent insurrection led by local tribal (kabyle) leader Mohamed ben Abd el Krim el Khattaby. It was the last war Spain has had to fight (on its own) outside its borders, and, despite the attrition, it emerged victorious on the battlefield. Cavalry officer Sáenz de Tejada is the main "character witness" in the historical review of this armed conflict that still resonates with many in Spain. This book relies on military archives and twenty-four of letters written by Sáenz de Tejada, many of them from the front, to give the reader a first-hand perspective of Spanish life and the frontline in the Rif.
