Have learned a lot about Moroccan governance in the pre-colonial period. Lots of poli-sci legitimacy, not a westphalian state. Core-periphery relations, recognized government that works with key stakeholders, doesn't command them.

Berber spoken poetry as reflective of national identity is an interesting concept.

Imagined or selective histories in Algeria (Similar to Greek history ignoring Byzantines, ignoring Arab) and Morocco allowed the French to pretend to defend a traditional state. Instead, ethno/religious separation and investment only in European areas, while raising concerns in underfunded desertification poor lands for Moroccans. Monopoly on Fertilizer, Casablanca a European, not natural port.
