Reviews

"In Morocco, nobody dies without a reason." Susan Gilson Miller, Harvard University "... an important step forward in the English-language historiography of Morocco, which stands in need of more sophisticated, reflective writing not only on the colonial encounter but also on other eras of the country's history."-Times Literary Supplement, October 26 2007
