[T]he chapters of this eminently readable text 'build a richly textured portrait of the Kingdom of Morocco' . . . as well as a primer on the mode of ethnographic research. . . . the focus is on 'the daily struggles that underpin larger social processes', the dynamics of everyday life . . . . I can think of no better book to read for both a general audience and fellow scholars on Morocco as seen through the anthropological lens.(Contemporary Islam) [T]he book offers much food for thought, crossing disciplinary and professional boundaries. It also has the added value of de-exoticizing a country which is too often exoticized and romanticized by policy-makers, tourism operators and various other interest groups, both foreign and Moroccan.(Middle Eastern Studies) There are two groups of readers who will particularly welcome this book:rst, students of anthropology, who contemplate doingeldwork in Morocco; second, scholars interested in reections on the production of anthropological knowledge in Morocco and beyond. The book is lucidly written and, as it dispenses with jargon, it is also accessible for a broad audience.(Social Anthropology)
