Download or read book Marrakech Noir written by Fouad Laroui and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique anthology of crime fiction features 15 original stories of “scandals, smugglers, and other sordid tales” by award-winning Moroccan authors (CrimeReads). At first glance, Marrakech may seem like an odd setting for noir fiction. Contemporary Moroccans call it The Joyful City—a place where locals are happy to joke about gossip and quick to forget stories of crime. But in Marrakech Noir, some of Morocco’s finest authors address old wrong that have been kept hidden behind the city’s ancient gates, and spin contemporary tales of poverty, grift, and violence in this global tourist destination. Marrakech Noir features brand-new stories by Fouad Laroui, Allal Bourqia, Abdelkader Benali, Mohamed Zouhair, Mohamed Achaari, Hanane Derkaoui, Fatiha Morchid, Mahi Binebine, Mohamed Nedali, Halima Zine El Abidine, My Seddik Rabbaj, Yassin Adnan, Karima Nadir, Taha Adnan, and Lahcen Bakour.

Book excerpt: This text is an original investigation in the complex relationship between women, gender, and language in a Muslim, multilingual, and multicultural setting.

Download or read book Patience and Power written by Susan Schaefer Davis and published by Schenkman Books. This book was released on 1983 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sociocultural anthropological study of Moroccan village women helps us to understand another way of life. "Patience and Power" blows away the cobwebs of myth surrounding women in an Islamic society. It shows them in their true light -- not subordinate to men, but revealing both patience and power. | Older literature about Muslim women (written mostly by men) has been superficial in approach and often inaccurate. More recent studies offer details with few explanations or conclusions. "Patience and Power", on the other hand, is written by an anthropologist who uses a new, more systematic approach. Additionally, Dr. Susan S. Davis not only speaks Moroccan Arabic fluently but is at home in the culture.

Download or read book Voices of Resistance written by Alison Baker and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1998-01-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing new information on women's participation in the Moroccan independence movement, Voices of Resistance offers a rare opportunity to hear Moroccan women speak freely about their personal lives. Each woman is introduced in terms of her family background and personal style, and the interviews are given texture and context by references to Moroccan history and popular culture, including contemporary songs and poems. These women are storytellers, and they lived through stirring times. Their active struggle against French colonialism also challenged and redefined traditional Moroccan ideas about women's roles in society. The narratives reconstruct the little-known history of Moroccan feminism and nationalism, and probe the lives of a remarkable group of Islamic women whose voices have never been heard until now.

Download or read book Dreams Of Trespass written by Fatima Mernissi and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1995-09-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "wonderful and enchanting" memoir tells the revelatory true story of one Muslim girl's life in her family's French Moroccan harem, set against the backdrop of World War II (The New York Times Book Review). "I was born in a harem in 1940 in Fez, Morocco..." So begins Fatima Mernissi in this illuminating narrative of a childhood behind the iron gates of a domestic harem. In Dreams of Trespass, Mernissi weaves her own memories with the dreams and memories of the women who surrounded her in the courtyard of her youth -- women who, without access to the world outside, recreated it from sheer imagination. A beautifully written account of a girl confronting the mysteries of time and place, gender and sex, Dreams of Trespass illuminates what it was like to be a modern Muslim woman in a place steeped in tradition.
