Francophone Voices of the ''New'' Morocco in Film and Print: (Re)presenting a Society in Transition

This perceptive book focuses on the literature, journalism, and film produced in Morocco since the end of the repressive reign of Hassan II in 1999. Encouraged by the more open, democratic climate fostered by his son, King Mohammed VI, men and women authors, journalists, poets, and filmmakers have been able to examine the socio-cultural and political debates of their country. Today literary works and cinematic productions depict a tolerant and inclusive nation now known as “Le Nouveau Maroc” (The New Morocco). This study delves into Moroccan society, exploring how those who produce culture represent a country as it transitions from traditionalism to modernity within the conflicted polemics of the post-9/11 world.
