Beginning with Morocco’s incorporation into the Roman Empire, this book charts the country’s uneasy passage to the 21st century and reflects on the nation of citizens that is emerging from a diverse population of Arabs, Berbers, and Africans. This history of Morocco provides a glimpse of an imperial world, from which only the architectural treasures remain, and a profound insight into the economic, political, and cultural influences that will shape this country’s future.
Richard Pennell charts the rich history of Morocco in this accessible account. Tracing the key moments, from the Phoenician invasion in the 12th century BCE to the Saharan conflicts, this narrative examines the many influences that have shaped Moroccan history.
