Exploring the roles of Muslim guards and guides in Jewish
cemeteries in Morocco, Cory Thomas Pechan Driver suggests that
these custodians use performances of ritual and caring acts for
Jewish graves for multiple reasons. Imazighen [Berbers] stress
their close ties with Jews in order to create a moral self
intentionally set apart from the mono-ethically Arab and
mono-religiously Muslim Morocco. Other subjects, and particularly
women, use their ties with Jewish sites to harness power and
prestige in their communities. Others still may care for these
grave sites to express grief for a close Jewish friend or adoptive
family. In examining these motives, Driver not only documents the
flow of material and spiritual capital across religious lines, but
also moves beyond Muslim memory of the past on the one hand and
Jewish dread of the future on the other to think about the
Muslim/Jewish present in Morocco.
