Beskrivning
In The Mobile Phone Revolution in Morocco, Hsain Ilahiane examines how Moroccans use the mobile phone to redefine core notions of gender and space, honor and shame, placemaking, and surveillance and control. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with urban street vendors, urban micro-entrepreneurs, urban female domestic workers, and smallholder farmers in urban and rural Morocco, Ilahiane illustrates how the mobile phone has the endowed capacity to inform, rearrange, and transform almost every aspect of Moroccan society.

Recensioner i media
Hsain Ilahiane’s book is an ethnographic tour de force. Not only does he show us how a complex multitude of forces and activities all converge upon the cell phones Moroccan people hold in their hands, but also how the phones themselves, as ‘total social artifacts,’ are subjects in their own right. Henceforth, anyone writing about the role of cell phones in social and cultural life will have to take this fascinating, and well-argued, book into account.
