This collected volume investigates the ways in which historical
training supports current activism and advocacy in global times by
highlighting models of social activism and political representation
in different parts of the world, with diverse social actions,
strategies, and protest spaces. Morocco is a fascinating society to
examine protest movements in an authoritarian regime. For the first
time ever, the contributors reply in detail to questions,
challenges and findings regarding the implications of historically
informed activism in Morocco. The cooperative perspective is the
key to a better understanding as it reinvigorates a conversation
between social scientists-sociologists, anthropologists, and
political scientists-and historians about how to analyse social and
political activism. The main findings relate to the great
structural transformations that have shaped the current power
regimes in a longue duree perspective. How are social movements
born, how do they mature, and how do they die? Through the dynamics
of social mobilisation, we discover the structure of the power
regime, the responses (strategies), and its forms of survival
(resources and capacities). How does history inform and empower
current activism? The book covers 22 scenarios of popular revolts
-urban, rural, and peripheral. Casablanca (1907, 1965, 2000), Fez
(1907, 1990), the Eastern Rif (1909, 1921, 1958, 1984, 2004),
Meknes (1937, 2011), Tangiers (1952, 2011, 2015), Sale, (1930,
2008), Taza (1915), and Imider (2011).
