Description

Newly translated from the French, treats the pre-colonial history of the area known collectively in Arabic as the Maghrib--Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Historians have long neglected this area which stood at the periphery of Islam, Africa, the Mediterranean, and the French colonies. While linked with the Maghrib in economic, political and religious affairs, these societies usually paid it little attention and modern historians have continued the omission. Valensi takes delves into this subject in this book.
