Remembering The Tatas - Domestic Women And Slavery In Tetouan (19th - 20th Centuries)

by Josep Lluis Mateo Dieste

~~156,35€~~ 140,72€ 10% OFF

 This book sheds light on the final process of slavery in Morocco, unraveling the contemporary roots of servility and stereotypes about blackness in the Arab world. Unlike other generalist analyses, this research focuses on the practice of servitude through a case study in the city of Tetouan. Until well into the twentieth century, bought women arrived in the city to join the domestic labor market, also becoming signs of social distinction. This historical ethnography is paradigmatic in reconstructing the relations between masters and domestics of slave origin, putting names and faces to subaltern people to rescue them from oblivion.

Memory And Presence Of Female Saints In Ksar El Kebir (Morocco) - Oral Transmission And Written Tradition

by Manuela Marin e Rachid El Hour

148,40€ + 10% CARD

 This book discusses hagiographical sources from Morocco taking in consideration the often-overlooked oral tradition. Orality, as is shown in this study, completes and enriches the vision of hagiography that written sources traditionally has offered. The most relevant example in this book is the high presence of female saints in oral narratives that were not included in any other written sources. Recovering oral tradition to study hagiography as well as the role of female saints in Morocco has been one of the main areas of focus in this study as well as problematizing the dependence and dialogue between written and oral culture and can help to understand the diffusion and presence of similar phenomena in other areas of Morocco.

by Yousra Abourabi

166,95€ + 10% CARD

 Depuis l'avenement du regne de Mohammed VI en 1999, le Maroc deploie une nouvelle politique etrangere continentale. Le Royaume ambitionne d'etre reconnu comme une puissance africaine emergente dans son identite comme dans son espace de projection. Afin de satisfaire ces ambitions, l'appareil diplomatique se developpe et se modernise, tandis qu'une identite de role singuliere emerge autour de la notion de juste milieu . Cette etude presente, sur le plan empirique, les conditions de l'elaboration et de la conduite de cette politique africaine, et analyse, sur le plan theorique, l'evolution de l'identite de role marocaine a l'echelle internationale. Since the advent of the reign of Mohammed VI in 1999, Morocco has deployed a new continental foreign policy. The Kingdom aspires to be recognized as an emerging African power in its identity as well as in its space of projection. In order to meet these ambitions, the diplomatic apparatus is developing and modernizing, while a singular role identity is emerging around the notion of the "golden mean". This study presents, on an empirical level, the conditions of the elaboration and conduct of this African policy, and analyzes, on a theoretical level, the evolution of the Moroccan role identity in the international system.

Mediating Museums - Exhibiting Material Culture In Tunisia (1881-2016)

by Virginie Rey

144,43€ + 10% CARD

 This book documents and interprets the trajectory of ethnographic museums in Tunisia from the colonial to the post-revolutionary period, demonstrating changes and continuities in role, setting and architecture across shifting ideological landscapes. The display of everyday culture in museums is generally looked down upon as being kitsch and old-fashioned. This research shows that, in Tunisia, ethnographic museums have been highly significant sites in the definition of social identities. They have worked as sites that diffuse social, economic and political tensions through a vast array of means, such as the exhibition itself, architecture, activities, tourism, and consumerism. The book excavates the evolution of paradigms in which Tunisian popular identity has been expressed through the ethnographic museum, from the modernist notion of 'indigenous authenticity' under colonial time, to efforts at developing a Tunisian ethnography after Independence, and more recent conceptions of cultural diversity since the revolution. Based on a combination of archival research in Tunisia and in France, participant observation and interviews with past and present protagonists in the Tunisian museum field, this research brings to light new material on an understudied area.

Law And Property In Algeria - Anthropological Perspectives

127,20€ + 10% CARD

 In spite of its privileged place on the African continent, in the Muslim world and in the Middle East and North Africa region, Algeria remains poorly known, and the works relating to contemporary Algerian society published outside of Algeria are rare. This book seeks to contribute to our understanding of Algerian society today, through its relationships to property and to law. Beyond this, the objective is to propose, in a comparative perspective proper to anthropology, new theoretical and methodological perspectives by which to apprehend the anthropology of law in a Muslim context. Algeria, as a post-colonial and post-Socialist State, whose population is overwhelmingly Muslim, proves to be a particularly interesting case to study. Contributors are: Hichem Amichi, Emilie Barraud, Ammar Belhimer, Yazid Ben Hounet, Nejm Benessaiah, Sami Bouarfa, Tarik Dahou, Baudouin Dupret, Marcel Kuper, Judith Scheele, Alice Wilson.

Droit Musulman Et Societe Au Sahara Premoderne - La Justice Islamique Dans Les Oasis Du Grand Touat (Algerie) Aux Xviie - Xixe Siecles

by Ismail Warscheid

156,35€ + 10% CARD

 La pratique du droit musulman est generalement consideree comme un phenomene urbain. A partir d'une analyse de recueils de fatwas inedits et d'autres manuscrits arabes provenant des oasis du Grand Touat (Sud algerien), Droit musulman et societe au Sahara premoderne remet en question cette vision des choses. L'ouvrage explore la diffusion d'institutions juridiques islamiques dans la region entre le XVIIe et le XIXe siecles, ainsi que l'interaction entre communautes villageoises et juristes musulmans. Pour sonder ce processus, Ismail Warscheid adopte une approche dialectique : il reconstitue les modalites de l'application de la charia par les cadis et muftis locaux et s'interroge sur les usages que les populations oasiennes font des tribunaux islamiques, de l'ecriture notariale et de la consultation juridique.Pre-modern Islamic legal practice is most often considered an essentially urban phenomenon. Relying on unedited fatwa collections and other Arabic manuscripts from the oasis of Tuwat in southern Algeria, Droit musulman et societe au Sahara premoderne challenges this vision. The book explores the spread of Islamic legal institutions in the region between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries, and the interaction between village communities and Muslim jurists. Ismail Warscheid investigates this process from a dialectical perspective: how were shar?i norms applied by local qadis and muftis, and how did local populations made use of court litigation, notarial certification, and legal consultation?

Law And The Islamization Of Morocco Under The Almoravids - The Fatwas Of Ibn Rushd Al-Jadd To The Far Maghrib

by Camilo Gomez-Rivas

165,63€ + 10% CARD

 Law and the Islamization of Morocco under the Almoravids. The Fatwas of Ibn Rushd al-Jadd to the Far Maghrib investigates the development of legal institutions in the Far Maghrib during its unification with al-Andalus under the Almoravids (434-530/1042-1147). A major contribution to our understanding of the twelfth-century Maghrib and the foundational role played by the Almoravids, it posits that political unification occurred alongside urban transformation and argues that legal institutions developed in response to the social needs of the growing urban spaces as well as to the administrative needs of the state. Such social needs included the regulation of market exchange, the settlement of commercial disputes, and the privatization and individualization of property.

Pouvoir De Guerir - Mythe, Mystique Et Politique Au Maroc

by Zakaria Rhani

145,75€ + 10% CARD

 Au Maroc, les mythes fondateurs des cultes et rituels de guerison illustrent de maniere probante les processus d'elaboration des significations et des dynamiques du pouvoir dans le passe proche et leurs articulations actuelles. Des dynamiques qui se deploient en termes genealogiques, initiatiques et en des capacites socialement reconnues de susciter une communication avec le monde surnaturel. L'analyse centree sur la confrontation entre saints et rois permet, par ailleurs, d'elargir a la dimension nationale, et au-dela, le rapport, hierarchique, de conflit et d'articulation entre charisme personnel et charisme sharifien. Le mythe et ses expressions rituelles ouvrent, ainsi, les possibilites du renouvellement sociopolitique par les marges, voire meme, dans l'actualite, sous couleur d'une revolution a l'horizon d'un millenarisme du califat.In Morocco, the founding myths of healing cults and rituals illustrate conclusively the elaboration of the symbolism and dynamics of power, both in local and national contexts. These dynamics unfold specifically in terms of genealogical representations and mystical initiations, as well as in socially-recognized capacities to communicate with the supernatural. The analysis centered on the confrontation of saints and kings permits the expansion, to the national level and beyond, of the hierarchical tensions between personal charisma and sharifian charisma. Thus, the myth and its ritual expressions open up possibilities for socio-political renewal by the margins, or even more a renewal, taking place presently, in the form of a revolutionary millenarianism.

Labyrinths, Intellectuals And The Revolution - The Arabic-Language Moroccan Novel, 1957-72

by Ian Campbell

178,88€ + 10% CARD

 Labyrinths, Intellectuals and the Revolution traces the development of the postcolonial Arabic-language Moroccan novel from its roots in travel narratives and autobiography into its more mature period of stylistic and thematic diversity in the early 1970s. This study first undertakes an exploration of the political, social and artistic conditions under which the genre developed, then moves to close readings of each of the formative texts, grouped by theme. The analysis of these texts centers around their spatial practices: there is a tension between the labyrinthine space of the street, which deflects legibility, and the sacred interior within the blank walls, wherein a certain equality of gaze and power can be perceived.

Governing The Empire: Provincial Administration In The Almohad Caliphate (1224-1269) - Critical Edition, Translation, And Study Of Manuscript 4752 Of The Hasaniyya Library In Rabat Containing 77 Taqadim (&Quote;Appointments&Quote;)

by Hicham El Aallaoui e Pascal Buresi

223,93€ + 10% CARD

 In this book, Pascal Buresi and Hicham El Aallaoui edit, translate, and study an Arabic manuscript of the Royal Library of Rabat, containing 77 appointments of provincial officials. The Almohad Caliphs were the first Berbers to unite the whole Maghrib and the Iberian Peninsula under an imperial ideology elaborated at the end of the 12th C.E. by the most famous scholars, such as Averroes.This peripheral Islamic dynasty produced a pragmatic documentation that provides exceptional information about the administrative, political, ideological, and religious organisation of the largest medieval European-African Empire. Buresi and El Aallaoui convincingly stress the importance of the literature of the Chancellery in renewing the history of power and authority in medieval Islamic lands.

Crossing The Strait - Morocco, Gibraltar And Great Britain In The 18th And 19th Centuries

by James A.O.C. Brown

157,68€ + 10% CARD

 The Strait of Gibraltar is a ubiquitous symbol of the supposed dividing line between Europe and the Muslim world. This book re-evaluates that perception with reference to new archival evidence about the links between the Gharb region of Morocco and Gibraltar and the establishment of the Moroccan consulate there, focusing on the period around 1750-1850. It shows the development of a complex set of political, social and economic relationships across the strait that connected Morocco to Gibraltar and beyond. In the light of this evidence, the book challenges prevailing arguments that emphasise the isolationist impulses of the Moroccan sultanate and Moroccan society, and highlights the extent to which European expansion in this period was shaped by local responses.
