This book brings together contributors across the disciplines to
examine the local, national, regional and global processes that
have shaped Maghribi societies, economies and politics since the
colonial period. Focusing equally on the local shape of global
processes and on the broader significance of particular 'ways of
doing things', these studies move beyond generalisations about
globalisation and its impact on local societies, whether
developmental or detrimental, of the 'global in the local', or of
'glocalisation'. Cases range from the onset of the 'first wave' of
globalisation in the colonial era to the most recent developments
in identity politics, consumerism, and telecommunications.
Contributors show how nationalising and globalising influences are
seized, remade, and put to work in very different ways by High
Atlas farmers or urban real estate speculators, human rights
activists at the edge of the Sahara and amateur theatre actors in
Mediterranean towns. Always located somewhere, these social actors
nonetheless act in different ways, with different effects, at
different levels of engagement, whether with each other, their own
governments, or the wider world. This book was published as a
special issue of the Journal of North African Studies.
