This book investigates the importance of waging jihad for
legitimacy in pre-colonial Morocco. It counters colonial
interpretations of the pre-colonial Moroccan sultanate as
hopelessly divided into territories of 'obedience' and 'dissidence'
by suggesting that state-society warfare was one aspect of a
constant process of political negotiation. Detailed analysis of
state and society interpretations of jihad during the critical
period of the French conquest of Algeria clearly shows this process
at play and its steady evolution in the context of increasing
European pressure, which culminated in the imposition of the French
protectorate in 1912.
