Tingis is a quarterly magazine that highlights the cultural concerns, ideas, and issues of Moroccans, friends of Morocco, and all those who have some interest in Morocco or the larger Arab and Muslim worlds. Because Moroccan views have no representation in English-speaking cultures, particularly in the United States, Tingis fills this gap and, at the same time, highlights the diversity within Arab and Muslim thought. The magazine also seeks to present the views of non-Muslim Moroccans whenever possible.

The pages of Tingis are wide open to all critical inquiries into the nature of identity, religion in the 21st century, nationalist ideologies, globalization, and communication across faiths and cultures. Tingis encourages self-critical thought but eschews polemical treatises that exacerbate misunderstanding or trivialize intellectual inquiry. Go to Tingis Magazine.

The first general history in English of Morocco in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Morocco since 1830: A History explores the profound changes that have affected social relations in Morocco over the last 150 years, especially those between the sexes, and between linguistic identities and cultures.

Although the country has returned to roughly its pre-colonial boundaries, Morocco still suffers from the effects of colonization by France and Spain. Its current king, like the sultans of the nineteenth century, claims legitimacy through his leadership of the Islamic community, but there is a long tradition of dissent based on Islamic ideals. Morocco's history is also marked by the enduring presence of a large Jewish community.

This comprehensive portrait examines the tactics used by Moroccan rulers to cope with European penetration in the nineteenth century and colonialism in the twentieth, and, since the 1950s, to retain control of the independent state. As Pennell points out, however, the ruling dynasty is not sufficiently representative of modern Morocco, nor are political events the only influence on change. Most Moroccans are still poor, and their lives are shaped by their economic circumstances. The influence of harvests, access to land and water, and external trade have always determined the fate of the majority.
