  • Memories of Absence

    How Muslims Remember Jews in Morocco

    by Aomar Boum ...
    There is a Moroccan saying: A market without Jews is like bread without salt. Once a thriving community, by the late 1980s, 240,000 Jews had emigrated from Morocco. Today, fewer than 4,000 Jews remain. Despite a centuries-long presence, the Jewish narrative in Moroccan history has largely been suppressed through national historical amnesia, Jewish absence, and a growing dismay over the Palestinian ...

  • Historical Dictionary of the Arab Uprisings

    by Mohamed Daadaoui, Professor Aomar Boum ...
    Series series Historical Dictionaries of War, Revolution, and Civil Unrest
    The Arab uprisings that swept the Middle East and North Africa in the period from 2011- 2012 left an indelible mark on the socio-political landscape of the region. But that mark was not consistent across the region: while some countries underwent dramatic popular social and political changes, others teetered on the brink, or were left with the status quo intact.

  • Historical Dictionary of Morocco

    by Thomas K. Park, Professor Aomar Boum ...
    Series series Historical Dictionaries of Africa

  • René Maran’s «Batouala»

    Jazz-Text

    by Susan Allen ...
    The polemic excited by Batouala’s controversial Preface has conditioned an enduring, near-universal acceptance of a disjunction of Preface and novel. This is the first book to challenge that premise. The fallacious underpinnings of the origin persistence of this view are shown to lie in Western, dichotomously structured thinking. Through offshoots of the civilised-versus-savage dichotomy, namely ... Read more
