Morocco and the West offers new insights into Moroccan writing, bringing together chapters on literary fiction and travel writing to explore the interactions between East and West. As a culturally, linguistically, politically and geographically diverse country, Morocco has sparked the interest of writers from all over the world and across a range of disciplines. With the demise of Western empires and the rise of globalization, this volume shows how Moroccan literature and travel writing has navigated the boundary between East and West, thanks to its location and its mosaic of cultures, ethnicities and identities.
