Desde su nacimiento en 2012, la Revista Universitaria de Historia Militar (RUHM) surgió bajo la firme convicción de que era necesario propiciar una renovación de la historia militar que se venía desarrollando en el ámbito hispanohablante. Precisa- mente, el objetivo era buscar nuevas preguntas capaces de conducirnos a otras visiones, interpretaciones y debates para la comprensión y estudio de fenómenos capitales como el orden público, la violencia, las fuerzas de seguridad estatales, las instituciones militares o paramilitares y, por supuesto, la guerra. Así pues, el deseo de este proyecto no era otro que hacer de la historia militar y los estudios de la guerra un paradigma y un objeto de estudios valiosos e interesantes para el conjunto de la comunidad historiográfica. Sin embargo, siempre hemos creído que la materialización de este objetivo pasaba necesa- riamente por la apertura del proyecto a todas las épocas, desde la Antigüedad al presen- te. Este era el único modo de forzarnos a romper con la compartimentación y la hiperes- pecialización, tan características de la historiografía actual como inevitables: fomentar el diálogo entre colegas de todos los ámbitos para dar con una visión mucho más amplia de los casos de estudio y problemáticas abordadas por cada historiador e historiadora. El objetivo último una comprensión mucho más rica y compleja del pasado. Asimismo, este proyecto nació con la clara voluntad de erigirse en una platafor- ma de referencia preocupada por promover y favorecer los estudios sobre los fenómenos bélicos, entendiendo éstos desde una perspectiva amplia, tanto a nivel cronológico como temático, y abarcando aspectos que van desde lo político, lo económico o lo social, a lo cultural, lo memorístico, lo tecnológico o lo científico. Así pues, en último término pre- tendemos introducir y promover en la historiografía hispanohablante las nuevas tenden- cias desarrolladas en el ámbito internacional en relación con la historia militar, así como servir de puente entre las más diversas experiencias investigadoras a ambos lados del Atlántico. Partiendo de estas consideraciones entendemos que el futuro de la historia militar pasa por cuestiones tan variadas e interrelacionadas entre sí como introducir la variable social; entender la guerra como el marco propiciatorio de proyectos políticos revolucionarios o, cuanto menos, transformaciones radicales; trabajar sobre los concep- tos, aplicando de forma crítica ideas procedentes de otras disciplinas al estudio de lo béli- co; analizar la experiencia de guerra como vía para situar al individuo en el marco de los conflictos, con sus miedos y sus motivaciones, pero también para dar con lo bélico en toda su riqueza y complejidad; abordar cuestiones relacionadas con la historia ambien- tal, situando como centro del análisis las transformaciones del paisaje a causa de la gue- rra, pero también las consecuencias mentales, económicas y sociales que se derivarían de todo ello; entender lo bélico y la violencia que genera dentro de unas cronologías porosas, mostrando preocupación por los periodos de posguerra; abordar la violencia como una dimensión inherente a la guerra en todos sus escenarios y que, además, acaba desbor- dando su marco consuetudinario; romper con la idea del civil como sujeto pasivo, recu- perando su papel como agente activo y con capacidad de maniobra; seguir los cambios en las percepciones a través de la historia de los conceptos, todo ello para ver la evolu- ción en el modo de entender el orden público, la violencia, el servicio de armas o la gue- rra; dar relieve y visibilidad a la siempre crucial perspectiva de género, sea porque la autora es una historiadora o porque los sujetos objeto de estudio son mujeres, pero tam- bién el modo en que la guerra ha contribuido a la construcción y destrucción de modelos hegemónicos de masculinidad y feminidad; no olvidar las perspectivas propias de los estudios poscoloniales; y, finalmente, tener en cuenta la variable cultural, tan vital y necesaria en el contexto de los conflictos armados. Así pues, estamos abiertos a la recep- ción de artículos, reseñas y propuestas para la coordinación de dossiers que atiendan a una o varias de estas variables desde perspectivas novedosas. Todo esto, que en principio puede sonar a lugar común o a mera retórica, es un firme anhelo en nuestro caso y, por ello, también queremos que sea una realidad. Con esta ilusión trabajamos día a día. En este sentido, tenemos el orgullo de decir que RUHM es la primera revista aca- démica especializada exclusivamente en historia militar y estudios de la guerra, además de la primera en dicho ámbito que somete sus artículos a un estricto proceso de evalua- ción por doble ciego, previa revisión y valoración exhaustiva por parte del equipo edito- rial. El cuidado que ponemos en nuestro trabajo ha sido condición sine qua non para que la RUHM

HOFFMAN Northwestern University As the French conquered Muslim lands in their nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century quest for empire, they encountered multiple and some- times mixed judicial systems among the native populations. In many places, legal codes were shaped by either fiqh, meaning Islamic law, one component of which is customary law, or by non-Islamic custom, or some combination of the two.1 To administer native justice in French colonies and protectorates, Acknowledgments: Generous funding for this research was provided by a Charles Ryskamp Fel- lowship from the American Council of Learned Societies, a National Endowment for the Huma- nities Faculty Fellowship, a long-term fellowship from the American Institute for Maghrib Studies, a Northwestern University Faculty Research Grant, and an Institute for the Humanities Fel- lowship from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Mohamed Ouakrim, president of the Court of Taroudant Providence, and Ali Achfur, senior secretary at the Judicial Center, Igherm, generously allowed me to work with the original court dockets in Igherm and Taroudant. I wish to thank also Mina Alahyane and Hmad Laamrani for supplemental documentation, commentary, and helpful connections; Hafsa Oubou, Jenny Hall, and Devon Liddell for documentation; and Mohamed Mounib for provocative commentary on French Protectorate Berber policy. I am grateful to the fellows at the Camargo Foundation in Spring 2007, to archivist Anne-Sophie Cras at the Ministère des Affaires Etrangères archives in Nantes (CADN), and to Greta Austin, Joshua Cole, Clark Lom- bardi, and anonymous CSSH reviewers for comments and perspective.

  • 1 the Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan
    1 The Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan Resistance Maghreb Review, 40:1 (2014), 108-121. By Edmund Burke III Although the period 1900-1912 was replete with numerous important social upheavals and insurrections, many of which directly threatened the French position in Morocco, none of them generated a contemporaneous French effort to discover what went wrong. Instead, the movements were coded as manifestations of supposedly traditional Moroccan anarchy and xenophobia and as such, devoid of political meaning. On the face of it, this finding is surprising. How could a French policy that billed itself as “scientific imperialism” fail to consider the socio-genesis of Moroccan protest and resistance? Despite its impressive achievements, the Moroccan colonial archive remains haunted by the inability of researchers to pierce the cloud of orientalist stereotypes that occluded their vision of Moroccan society as it actually was. For most historians, the period of Moroccan history between 1900 and 1912 is primarily known as “the Moroccan Question.” A Morocco-centered history of the Moroccan Question was impossible for Europeans to imagine. Moroccan history was of interest only insofar as it shed light on the diplomatic origins of World War I. European diplomats were the main actors in this drama, while Moroccans were pushed to the sidelines or reduced to vulgar stereotypes: the foolish and spendthrift sultan Abd al-Aziz and his fanatic and anarchic people. Such an approach has a degree of plausibility, since the “Moroccan Question” chronology does provide a convenient way of structuring events: the Anglo-French Accord (1904), the landing of the Kaiser at Tangier (1905), the Algeciras conference (1906), the landing of French troops at Casablanca (1907), the Agadir incident (1911) and the signing of the protectorate treaty (1912).

  • Islamists and Human Rights in Morocco
    Research Paper, 20th December 2018 Islamists and Human Rights in Morocco → Mohamed Wazif Supporters of the Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD), celebrating their Parliamentary election victory outside the home of Moroccan Prime Minister and Secretary General (PJD) Abdelilah Benkirane in Rabat, Morocco, 08 October 2016. © EPA - Abdelhak Senna Since the declaration of independence in the mid-1950s and throughout Moroccan modern history, issues of democracy and human rights have not garnered the level and intensity of attention they did over the last two decades. Human rights activism and gradual political openness since the mid1990s contributed to this transformation and placed Morocco on a slow but steady path towards political change and democratization. In parallel, the gradual rise of Islamism, both socially and politically, created tensions, polarizations and challenges within the human rights arena in terms of debates and actions. The Islamist position on human rights, bearing in mind their worldview and actual practices, is paradoxical and has thus been criticized among non-Islamist political and civil actors. In addition to describing this position as complex and confused,1 )critics and opponents accuse Islamists of being selective, opportunistic and tactical when they address democracy and human rights. It is mostly when Islamists suffer human rights violations that they come to face the paradox of their traditionally adversarial position to the universal rights discourse. Paradoxical, since this discourse, in fact, provides

  • Jonathan Wyrtzen COLONIAL STATE-BUILDING and THE
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 43 (2011), 227–249 doi:10.1017/S0020743811000043 Jonathan Wyrtzen COLONIAL STATE- BUILDING AND THE NEGOTIATION OF ARAB AND BERBER IDENTITY IN PROTECTORATE MOROCCO Abstract Colonial state-building in Protectorate Morocco, particularly the total “pacification” of territory and infrastructural development carried out between 1907 and 1934, dramatically transformed the social and political context in which collective identity was imagined in Moroccan society. Prior scholarship has highlighted the struggle between colonial administrators and urban Arabophone nationalist elites over Arab and Berber ethnic classifications used by French officials to make Moroccan society legible in the wake of conquest. This study turns to the understudied question of how rural, tribal communities responded to state- and nation-building processes, drawing on a unique collection of Tamazight (Berber) poetry gathered in the Atlas Mountains to illuminate the multiple levels on which their sense of group identity was negotiated. While studies of identity in the interwar Arab world have concentrated on how Pan-Islamism, Pan-Arabism, and local nationalisms functioned in the Arab East, this article changes the angle of analysis, beginning instead at the margins of the Arab West to explore interactions between the consolidation of nation-sized political units and multivocal efforts to reframe the religious and ethnic parameters of communal solidarity during the colonial period. The complex relationship between Arab and Berber identity is one

The period saw some of the most radical changes to the European map since the end of the Napoleonic Wars, and the peace that established this period led to a general dissatisfaction with the political status quo. It was a period that saw the old guard being swept away, with new ideologies rising to challenge the political norms of liberalism and socialism. Italy and Germany are the two major countries that spring to mind when one thinks of ideological change during this time. Both saw a rise in the far-right that ultimately allowed those fringe organizations to seize power, but they were not the only major European countries to experience social upheaval before the Second World War. Spain, while neutral during the First World War, could not escape the changes or problems sweeping across Europe. However, whereas the Italian far-right and German far-right obtained their power through the established political systems in those countries, Spain ignited into a three-year-long civil war that saw anywhere between two hundred and fifty thousand to a million people killed.

  • The Nationalist Movement in Morocco and the Struggle for Independence Between Civil Protest and Religious Propaganda (1930-1956)
    31Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale [online] ISSN 2385-3042 Vol. 52 – Giugno 2016 [print] ISSN 1125-3789 The Nationalist Movement in Morocco and the Struggle for Independence between Civil Protest and Religious Propaganda (1930-1956) Barbara De Poli (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract In precolonial Morocco, dominated by a sultanate of religious origin (the Alawite dy- nasty), political fault lines referred to clans and guilds, in a social and cultural context firmly based on Islam. To defend its borders against both Ottomans and Europeans, Morocco chose a more closed policy than that current in the Middle East, staying at the edge of the progressive and secularizing reforms which were affecting nineteenth century culture and institutions of other Muslim countries such as Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia (Burke 1972). The treaty of Fes of March 30, 1912, which placed the country under a protectorate (Rivet 1996), profoundly changed this situation, plunging Morocco into modern dynamics. Though the process was doubtless gradual, it's possible to establish the moment when pre-colonial political dialectics gave way to new forms which would lead the country towards new expressions and contents, in the events which followed the publication of the Berber dahir on May 16, 1930.

  • Morocco in the Early Atlantic World, 1415-1603 A
    MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Washington, DC June 20, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Earnest W. Porta, Jr. All Rights Reserved ii MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Dissertation Advisor: Osama Abi-Mershed, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Over the last several decades, a growing number of historians have conceptualized the Atlantic world as an explanatory analytical framework, useful for studying processes of interaction and exchange. Stretching temporally from the 15th into the 19th century, the Atlantic world framework encompasses more than simply the history of four continents that happen to be geographically situated around what we now recognize as the Atlantic basin. It offers instead a means for examining and understanding the transformative impacts that arose from the interaction of European, African, and American cultures following the European transatlantic voyages of the 15th and 16th centuries. Though it has not been extensively studied from this perspective, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Morocco possessed geopolitical characteristics that uniquely situated it within not only the Islamic world, but the developing Atlantic world as well. This study considers Morocco’s involvement in the early Atlantic world by examining three specific phases of its involvement. The first phase lasts approximately one hundred years and begins with the Portuguese invasion of Ceuta in 1415, considered by some to mark the beginning of European overseas expansion.
