Thami al-Glaoui

Orit Ouaknine-Yekutieli examines the life and deeds of Thami al-Glaoui (1879–1956), and the multiple ways in which his story has been told. She investigates his biography as a creation continuing beyond the demise of its protagonist, asserting a conflation of history, story and storytelling. The book also reconfigures the story of major events and processes in modern Moroccan history and historiography.
