Description
A History of Modern Morocco by Susan Gilson Miller offers a richly documented survey of modern Moroccan history. This concise and readable book provides an in-depth exploration of the country's complex past, from the French invasion of Algeria in 1830 to the present day. The author's original interpretations of key events, ideas, and personalities that inform contemporary political life are testament to her scholarship and long association with Morocco. The book examines how pragmatism rather than ideology has shaped the monarchy's response to crisis, tracing the country's path from colonial rule to independence in 1956, and then on to the post-independence era. A postscript brings events up to 2012, covering topics such as Morocco's "war on terror" and the impact of the Arab Spring. This book will provide valuable insights for students coming to the history of North Africa for the first time, or those seeking background information on present-day events in the region.
