Moroccan Sahara, Saharan trade, Alaouite dynasty, Almoravids, Sijilmassa, Historiographie Marocaine.
Whether one agrees with its political framing or not, the volume succeeds in its primary goal: It proves that long before the modern nation-state, the lands stretching from the High Atlas to the banks of the Draa were not an empty wilderness, but a vibrant, contested, and essential part of the Moroccan political imagination. For the French-reading scholar of Africa, this text is indispensable—a map not of sand, but of memory.
