The Islamist Awakening and Other Challenges

Beschreibung

In Morocco, Marvine Howe, a former correspondent for The New York Times presents an incisive and comprehensive review of the Moroccan kingdom and its people, past and present. It addresses emerging issues and problems - equal rights for women, elimination of corruption and correction of glaring economic and social disparities - and asks the fundamental question: can this ancient Muslim kingdom embrace western democracy in an era of deepening
divisions between the Islamic world and the West?
