Description
Encountering Morocco offers a unique insight into life in this North African country through personal accounts from researchers who have spent time there. The contributors share their experiences, from first-time arrivals to seasoned fieldworkers, as they navigate cultural differences and develop relationships with the local population.
The book reveals the challenges of living in a foreign land, learning a new language and customs, and building rapport with people who may not speak your language. Through moving reflections on friendship, kinship, and belief, the authors explore why study of Moroccan society has played such an important role in the development of cultural anthropology.
With its vivid and honest portrayals, Encountering Morocco provides a valuable perspective on life in Morocco and the complexities of cross-cultural encounter.
