Reviews

"In general, it is appropriate to regard A History of the Maghrib in the Islamic Period as the best overview of its subject presently avaiable in English." International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies

"This book remains the best study of North Africa in that it remains the only major detailed work on the subject. Its value is immediate for both students of African History and Middle Eastern Studies." A.J. Abraham, Journal of Third World Studies
