This book is a combination travelogue and cultural memoir of true stories of an American couple who lived in Morocco for four years. They traveled extensively throughout the country while working as buyers for a company that was exporting Berber carpets, jewelry, and clothing. Their travels took them on multiple tours of Morocco's imperial cities - Marrakesh, Fez, Rabat and Meknes. They roamed the mountain villages, countryside, and desert oases looking for antique kilims. They spent countless hours exploring the museums, sights, souks, and bazaars, getting to know the shop owners, craftsmen, weavers, and street food vendors.Much of the book focuses on traditional Moroccan culture and mysticism which is revealed by their Moroccan business partner Naima as she takes them to family weddings, social gatherings, and visits to a traditional Moroccan psychic known as a shawafa. The shawafa is possessed by a djinn spirit who conveys unexplainable knowledge about the lives of the two Americans in stunning detail, and then offers sage advice. Through their firsthand experiences the two Americans learn that Moroccans hold a deeply mystical perception of reality. Consequently, Moroccans do not perceive time and space as we do in the West. For Moroccans time is a circle rather than a line, and that which happened fifty years ago is as relevant as that which happened yesterday. We have much to learn from the Moroccan Mystique.The book is filled with colorful tales, photos and paintings that give the reader a deeper understanding of the enormous contribution Morocco has made in architecture, design, weaving, music, dance, cuisine, and mysticism.

"Azzedine Downes moves between cultures, places, and time in this wryly comedic, at times mysterious, and always curious memoir of a lifelong nomad.The best strategy was to drink tea, smile, and enjoy the frustration of not knowing where the story leads. If time is endless, why rush to the point of a story? Now an international leader in the fight for animal welfare, Azzedine began his career as a volunteer teacher and later was appointed to leadership in the U.S. Peace Corps. An American Muslim with Irish roots, he's a natural cultural shape-shifter, immersing himself in the cultures of Morocco, Eastern Europe, Northwest Africa, Israel and his native United States. Along the way he befriends the glue-sniffing shoemakers of Fez, becomes the de facto manager of a traveling break-dance troupe, dodges bullets on his daily commute, and finds himself cursed over a feast of couscous gone very, very wrong. But his most powerful story recounts Azzedine's marriage to an elusive girl from Tangiers. Arranged after only two meetings their love story ultimately spans continents and withstands language barriers, international intrigue, and one very antagonistic State Department bureaucrat. A labyrinth of tales as complex as its namesake dish, The Couscous Chronicles is for anyone who believes that the only real failure is to remain unchanged and in place, that true love is always a blind leap, and that a good story over a cup of tea holds the power to change one's destiny"--

Der katalanische Maler Marià Fortuny i Marsal (1838-1874) und der aus Paris stammende Henri Regnault (1843-1871) sind wichtige Vertreter einer orientalistisch geprägten Kunst. Die transregionale Studie vergleicht zentrale Werke der Maler, analysiert die Rezeption Marokkos in der Kunst Spaniens und Frankreichs und eröffnet somit ein facettenreiches und differenziertes Bild europäischer Orientalismen in der Malerei der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Künstlernetzwerke und wechselseitige Austauschprozesse zwischen französischen und spanischen Marokkomalern stehen im Zentrum der Betrachtung ebenso wie die in der Forschung bisher vernachlässigten Orientalismen Spaniens, das aufgrund seines kulturellen Erbes von al-Andalus im 19. Jahrhundert oftmals zum ,Orient' gezählt wurde. Rezeption Marokkos durch europäische Künstler in der Vorprotektoratszeit Erstmalige Betrachtung der bisher vernachlässigten Orientalismen Spaniens im 19. Jahrhundert

Honning og Malurt skildrer et samfund, der er præget af korruption og dobbeltmoral, og blotlægger følelsen af skyld, tabet af selvagtelse, grænsen for hvad to mennesker kan magte.

Inmore than forty essays and articles that range from Paris to Ceylon, Thailand to Kenya, and, of course, Morocco, the great twen-tieth-century American writer encapsulates his long and full life, and sheds light on his brilliant fiction.

Woven throughout are photographs from the renowned author's private archive, which place him, his wife, the writer Jane Bowles, and their many friends and compatriots in the landscapes his essays bring so vividly to life. With an introduction by Paul Theroux and a chronology by Daniel Halpern

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Cultural Studies - North African Studies, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the Moroccan youth¿s crisis of identity. In the third millennium globalization permits the importation of goods and commodities from all over the world; and culture as well. If trade and industry constituted in the twentieth century an exclusively one-sided Western hegemony, culture as a soft power, penetrating continents from all sides, remains untractable and intangible for most. It perniciously enters homes and minds, subverting local customs and beliefs, and is all in the more pervasive that those it targets are unaware of its influence. The first element it seems to undermine is nationalism. By reinforcing the sense of belonging to the same nation, culture and the nationalism it entails, it establishes a popular power that strengthens the ethnic identity of a people. Geographical frontiers are being replaced by a sense of belonging to a virtual community which is supposed to hold the same opinions, to visualize the same news, to watch the same movies, and to listen to the same music. This fact is observable in young Moroccans¿ changes of behaviour and perception of self. Their being online most of the time puts them in permanent contact, and from an early age, with other cultures that may become substitutes of their own, which may induce a sense of not belonging to their native culture, and alienation from the constituents of their identity as Moroccans.

The remote desert outpost, manned by rugged and desperate legionnaires, surrounded by hordes of camel borne tribesmen has become something of an iconic image since PC Wren published Beau Geste in 1926. The last stand of a beleaguered garrison has resulted in many Hollywood films and books of similar genre.
