Morocco Bound: Disorienting America's Maghreb, from Casablanca to the Marrakech Express

Meer over het boek

Focusing on American representations of the Maghreb from 1942 to 1973, the book explores how film, literature, and journalism shaped perceptions of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. It highlights the interplay between U.S. cultural narratives and global dominance, revealing how these portrayals often served to divert attention from domestic issues, particularly race relations. Through this lens, the author examines the complexities of American identity and its engagement with an "exotic" North Africa during a transformative period in history.
