VITALITY AND DYNAMISM: INTERSTITIAL DIALOGUES OF LANGUAGE, POLITICS, AND RELIGION IN MOROCCO'S LITERARY TRADITION
This edited book of essays will explore Moroccan literatures from the inside out. The goal is to examine literature that is popular among Moroccan intelligentsia, themes that are of particular interest to Moroccans, and intersections of these themes. We will look at the interstices of religion, politics, and language in Morocco in its literary traditions, and we will be especially interested in local cultures, local movements in fiction, poetry, and drama, local religious practices and their origins, and relationships of sub-cultures and languages within Morocco.
