In the Moroccan French Protectorate (1912-1956), the French
established vocational and fine art schools, imposed modern systems
of industrial production and pedagogy and reinvented old
traditions. Hamid Irbouh argues that the French used this
systematic modernisation of local arts and crafts regulation to
impose their control. He looks in particular at the role and place
of women in the structures of art production and education created
by the French- that transformed and dominated Moroccan society
during the colonial period. French women infiltrated the Moroccan
milieu, to buttress colonial ideology, yet at critical moments,
Moroccan women rejected traditional roles and sabotaged colonial
plans. Meanwhile, the contradictions between reformist goals and
the old order added to social dislocations and led to rebellion
against French hegemony. Irbouh examines and analyses these
processes and demonstrates how Moroccan artists have struggled to
exorcise French influences and rediscover an authentic visual
culture since decolonisation. This book reveals that the weight of
colonial history continues to weigh heavily on artistic practice
and production.
