Knowledge and Power in Morocco: The Education of a Twentieth-Century Notable

Rate this book
This intensive social biography of a rural Moroccan judge discusses Islamic education, the concept of knowledge it embodies, and its communication from the early years of colonial rule in twentieth-century Morocco to the present. The work sensitively combines the outlooks and perceptions of the author and those of the shrewd and reflective `Abd ar-Rahman, supplementing our knowledge of resurgent militant Islamic movements by describing other popularly supported Islamic attitudes toward the contemporary world.

في الكتاب سيرة الحاج عبد الرحمن المنصوري وهي محاولة من ديل ايكلمان رصد ملامح حضور الاعيان في منطقة بزو ودورهم في مرحلة الحماية الفرنسية وفترات الاستقلال الاولى.ورغم محاولة الكاتب تقديم المعطيات بصيغ مهادنة (لا اجد تعبيرا اخر لوصف تجنبه تسمية الاشياء بمسمياتها) الا ان مابين سطور الكتاب يكشف عن الاعيان كمكون وكفاعل قوي في بنية المجتمع المغربي و في فهم ديناميته (ان صح لنا في نهاية الامر ان نتحدث عن دينامية بما ان كل شيء يتغير هنا لكي لا يتغير شيء)

I read it in a hurry but it is a quality account of personal memories about the traditional education in Morocco during the protectorate era.
