  • La Ṭarīqa Darqāwiyya De Marruecos Ante Raisuni Y Abdelkrim (1912-1927)1
    Entre la colaboración y la insubordinación: la ṭarīqa Darqāwiyya de Marruecos ante Raisuni y Abdelkrim (1912-1927)1 Between the Collaboration and the Insubordination: the ṭarīqa Darqāwiyya of Morocco Before Raisuni and Abdelkrim (1912- 1927) JORGE VILLANUEVA FARPÓN Universidad de Salamanca [email protected] Resumen: Es bien conocido el importante papel que han desempeñado las hermandades religiosas musulmanas en la historia de Marruecos. Fundada a finales del siglo xviii, la Darqāwiyya, una de estas hermandades, creció rápidamente en extensión e influencia por todo el territorio durante un período de importantes cambios en la vida sociopolítica del país. Y es que Marruecos pronto sentiría la injerencia, cada vez mayor, del colonialismo europeo, para culminar con el establecimiento de los Protectorados de Francia y España en 1912. Durante este período y hasta la llamada «pacificación» de la zona de influencia española en 1927, no faltaron rebeliones contra los poderes establecidos que obligaron a marroquíes y europeos a tomar posiciones frente a los acontecimientos. Las rebeliones más relevantes fueron la del líder yeblí Raisuni y la del rifeño Abdelkrim al-Jattabi. Ambos líderes rebeldes pasaron de la colaboración a la resistencia contra las autoridades coloniales españolas. Este artículo explica cuáles fueron las relaciones entre las autoridades coloniales, los dirigentes de la cofradía Darqāwiyya y estos dos cabecillas rebeldes. Palabras clave: Protectorado, norte de Marruecos, Darqāwiyya, Raisuni, Abdelkrim. Abstract: It is well known the important role played by Muslim religious brotherhoods in the history of Morocco. Founded at the end of the eighteenth century, the Darqāwiyya, one of these brotherhoods, grew rapidly in extent and influence throughout the territory during a period of major changes in the socio-political life of the country.

The Persistence of the Andalusian Identity in Rabat, Morocco Abstract This thesis investigates the problem of how an historical identity persists within a community in Rabat, Morocco, that traces its ancestry to Spain. Called Andalusians, these Moroccans are descended from Spanish Muslims who were first forced to convert to Christianity after 1492, and were expelled from the Iberian peninsula in the early seventeenth century. I conducted both ethnographic and historical archival research among Rabati Andalusian families. There are four main reasons for the persistence of the Andalusian identity in spite of the strong acculturative forces of religion, language, and culture in Moroccan society. First, the presence of a strong historical continuity of the Andalusian heritage in North Africa has provided a dominant history into which the exiled communities could integrate themselves. Second, the predominant practice of endogamy, as well as other social practices, reinforces an intergenerational continuity among Rabati Andalusians. Third, the Andalusian identity is a single identity that has a complex range of sociocultural contexts in which it is both meaningful and flexible.

  • The Legal System of Morocco
    August 2020 The Legal System of Morocco An Overview Leila Hanafi The history of Morocco shows a divide between the rigid and enforceable nature of the French civil code and the traditional Amazigh informal justice system as well as Sharia law that focuses more on custom than strict adherence to text. Thus, there is a strong basis for access to justice and the legal system generally, but with room to follow a less legally principled path. This overview further considers the way these primary influences coexist in the context of legal pluralism. Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e. V. The Legal System of Morocco – An Overview August 2020 2 I. Historical Influences The first known inhabitants of Morocco were Amazighs and other tribal groups. Their legal structure was 1 defined by informal systems based primarily on Islamic and non-Islamic customary law.0F Initially, most Amazighs were Christian, but through encounters with Arabs, beginning in the 7th century, many converted to Islam and thus their informal legal systems became increasingly informed by Islamic 2 teachings.1F Despite embracing Islam, however, the Amazighs followed a unique brand of Islamic Shi’ism, 3 incorporating their own cultural differences.2F The Amazigh culture is distinguished from other Moroccans primarily through language, which leads many children to drop out of school because they are taught in 4 a ‘foreign’ language, Arabic.3F Approximately two-thirds of the Amazigh population in Morocco live in rural 5 regions, where the culture remains the strongest.4F The Amazigh political system is centred on tribes and 6 7 family.5F Families remain close together and patriarchy is strong.6F Each tribe has a chieftain and communities often have Sharifs, families who claim descent from the prophet, who are afforded 8 significant respect in mediation of matters.7F The rejection of formal education based on language barriers, and the value of traditional authority figures lead modern day Amazigh communities, particularly in rural areas, to be most affected by IJS as defined by the original Amazigh inhabitants.

  • 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.
