Abstract:
The end of World War II intensified Morocco's nationalist struggle against French colonial rule, with the establishment of the Istiqlal ('independence') party and the Moroccan Sultan's emergence as a national leader. In this book, Daniel Zisenwine charts the rise of Morocco's leading nationalist party, and illustrates the weakness of Moroccan political parties at the outset of the anti-colonial struggle. While Morocco today faces formidable challenges, its political system remains profoundly influenced by the events charted in this book. Drawing from a wide range of previously unpublished sources, Daniel Zisenwine presents the background to the Istiqlal's establishment, its initial actions and demands, and an extensive discussion of its social activities aimed at mobilizing the Moroccan public during the anti-colonial struggle._x000D_ _x000D_ 'With this book, Daniel Zisenwine has offered a thoughtful, engaged analysis of the nationalist movement. It is a careful treatment, enriched by a close analysis of archival material, including official communiqués, as well as journalistic accounts. Most importantly, this book does a superb job of making clear the ways in which decades old history remains salient to this day. It will be a valuable contribution to the literature.'_x000D_ - Gregory White, Professor of Government, Smith College, and Associate Editor of the Journal of North African Studies_x000D_.
