Product Description

On the eve of the 2007 general elections in Morocco writer academic and former cabinet minister Abdallah Saaf embarked on several road trips across the country to get a feel for how its citizens had fared since Mohammed VIs accession to the throne. A Significant Year is the result an analysis of the political and sociological state of the Moroccan nation on the eve of a crucial moment in the postHassan II period but also a travelogue that describes what the author saw and heard on his travels in the summer months leading up to the epochal vote. Through Saafs eyes we see the countrys varied regions and its urban and rural landscapes. We meet Moroccans from all walks of life such as a waiter at a favorite cafe a carpark attendant who recognizes the author from TV and fellow writer and intellectual Abdelkabir Khatibi. Behind the deceptive simplicity of the books narrative structure readers will find in A Significant Year an insightful and nuanced portrayal of modern Moroccos many complexities.
