Morocco has long been a mythic l&, firmly rooted in the European colonial imagination. For more than a century it has been appropriated by travellers, explorers, writers & artists. It is just these images & imaginings that are now being reconstructed for nostalgic consumption. In Moroccan Dreams, Claudio Minca examines this aestheticised re-enactment of the colonial, exploring the ways in which Moroccans themselves have become complicit in the re-writing of their homes & lives. Richly illustrated, the book provides a fascinating journey that will engage & delight all those enamoured of Morocco & its extraordinary geographies. ...

Clear & attractive road map with street plans of Marrakesh, Agadir, Rabat, & Casablanca. Relief shading & spot heights indicate the topography. Road network is very clearly presented, although lacking some of the information which may be useful in areas such as the High Atlas, e.g. gradients or opening times of mountain passes. Places of interest, including national parks, oasis, etc. are very clearly marked (some of the symbols are not explained in the map legend!). The map has no geographical coordinates. The coastline south of Agadir is shown as an inset at the same scale as the main map, plus the Western Sahara at 1:5, 000, 000. The map

Includes:: street plans of Marrakesh, Agadir, Rabat, & Casablanca which highlight main places of interest (disappointingly perhaps, the bar where Sam played it again is not included). Both the main map & the four street plans are indexed.
