Morocco
Cohen and Jaidi trace the development of contemporary Morocco in the Islamic world of North Africa, which is currently at the forefront of the clash between Western-style development and the politicized Islam that now pervades the Arab world. By applying globalization theory to detailed accounts of everyday life in an Arab society, the book is uniquely suited to students. Morocco in particular is a good place to look at this extremely important confrontation. It is among the most liberalized Islamic states, yet it is also in the midst of a revival of politicized Islam, which has its own globalizing agenda. The authors detail how this clash pervades Moroccan culture and society, and what it can tell us about the effects of globalization on the Arab world. Morocco is extremely close to the West in terms of physical proximity, and it is a favoured spot for Western tourists. Yet its closest neighbours in social terms are Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia, all of which have directly experienced the effects of politicized Islam in the last quarter century.

Tribe and Society in Rural Morocco
Tribe and Society in Rural Morocco is a collection of 11 articles based on fieldwork and ethnographic studies conducted on Moroccan Berber-speaking tribes in particular, among the Aith Waryaghar in the Northern part, the Ait Atta in the South-central Atlas, and the Saghru. Although Arabs and Berbers have lived side by side in Morocco for many years, it is quite evident that the Berber element is very much more than just a remainder. Instead it is 'the backbone' of Moroccan nation and even the foundation of the whole North African structure. Its presence is still very strong even today (p.26). Three different sets of Berber tribal groups exist in Morocco: Tashilhit of the Western high and Ant...
Morocco
In Morocco, Marvine Howe, a former correspondent for The New York Times, presents an incisive and comprehensive review of the Moroccan kingdom and its people, past and present. She provides a vivid and frank portrait of late King Hassan, whom she knew personally and credits with laying the foundations of a modern, pro-Western state and analyzes the pressures his successor, King Mohammed VI has come under to transform the autocratic monarchy into a full-fledged democracy. Howe addresses emerging issues and problems--equal rights for women, elimination of corruption and correction of glaring economic and social disparities--and asks the fundamental question: can this ancient Muslim kingdom embrace western democracy in an era of deepening divisions between the Islamic world and the West?
