This volume offers a rich and interdisciplinary exploration of Morocco as a dynamic site of encounter, imagination, migration, and representation. Bringing together studies in literature, diaspora, travel writing, anthropology, translation, and digital culture, this volume examines how Morocco has been narrated, interpreted, and contested across cultural and historical boundaries. From postcolonial fiction and diasporic identity to Orientalism, border crossings, and the digital tourist gaze, the contributors illuminate the complex poetics of cross-cultural exchange between Morocco and the West. Engaging critically with questions of identity, mobility, memory, representation, and power, the book provides a timely and nuanced intervention in postcolonial and transcultural studies.
