“…Michel Abitbol, the author of a different Histoire du Maroc, seems hesitant, only devoting some twenty pages to the pre-Islamic period, from the first inhabitants to the fall of Roman Africa-less a true chapter, despite its status, than a sort of introduction. 40 Kably unambiguously incorporates the very longue durée into the Histoire du Maroc by clearly and definitively integrating the two long phases to which he devotes the second and third chapters.…”

TheHistoire du Marocedited by Mohamed Kably is a monumental collaborative work involving more than fifty authors, all, with only one exception, Moroccan. It is thus a de facto “Moroccanized” history (though not excessively so) and the synthesis that it presents marks an important milestone. This article will nevertheless suggest some alternative thematic or transversal structures while also highlighting some of the volume's guiding threads: the initial geographical tableau, the periodization, its vision of historical origins and antiquity, the “plural” nature of Morocco and its relationship with the exterior world. In terms of the overall tone of the volume, it is necessary to evaluate its place in the broader historiographical context today. Other recent studies have revealed an oscillation between two scales, the one tending toward oversimplified generalities (the Middle Ages, the modern period), the other toward what has sometimes seemed an excessive focus on the specific and the exceptional. TheHistoire du Marochandles these debates with cautious discretion as they run through its chapters in a light filigree; it is a useful tool, pedagogic and accessible to a large and diverse public because it is neither intransigent nor polemical. Hard to reduce to particular historical currents, it is a scholarly work, an example of reasoned academic study. It is based on actual knowledge, without preconceived boundaries, and will remain a reference, scholarly, experimental, and pragmatic. It seems most unlikely, after the publication of this volume, that the history of Morocco will need to be rewritten over again.

“…In the first half of the 1930s, the Protectorate government decided to cancel the open-gate policy and to favour local production. The historical trade agreements between Morocco and the colonial powers were reopened 75 , and in talks between France and Spain it was agreed to raise the Moroccan customs duties on the import of jewellery from 5% to 10%. 76 The shift from a policy of economic liberalism which the Protectorate itself had promoted until then was due to the growing tension among different sectors of the local population, which threatened its ability to govern.…”

“…The document determined that the Protectorate violates its liabilities to keep the Makhzen's independence in internal affairs, and therefore called to return power to the Sultan. 81 Their requirements were turned down by the authorities, and Moroccan nationalism turned to militarisation. Soon after, in 1937, it was outlawed.…”

Artisan dynamics in the age of colonialism: the social history of Moroccan Jewish goldsmiths in the inter-war period

The article highlights the social history of Jewish goldsmiths in French Morocco between the two World Wars, a period in which the global capitalist system challenged their historical monopoly over production and commerce. Continued external intervention (Moroccan commercial treaties with European capitalist markets), direct competition (the import of cheap industrial products and an influx of entrepreneurs), the mechanisation of local manufacturing, the encouragement of individualism resulting in the breakdown of Jewish social cohesion and the taking over of political institutions by France (the Makhzen) and its local agent (the Muhtaseb) had all eroded the Jewish monopoly of the precious-metals industry and created an unexpected atmosphere of strong economic, political and judicial pressures on Jewish goldsmiths. In order to explore the struggle and survival of Jewish goldsmiths in the new economic order, the article addresses the following key questions: (1) What was the influence of various forces, both external and internal, on the Jewish goldsmiths' industry?; (2) How did the artisans respond to and cope with these new economic conditions?; and (3) Why did the Protectorate revert back from liberal economic policy to that of local producers' protection?

“…11 Pour inviter la population marocaine à consommer du poisson, le docteur Lavergne propose d'améliorer trois choses : le transport pour desservir les villes et les campagnes les plus lointaines, l'éducation des « intermédiaires », c'est-à-dire la formation de la profession des marins et « l'éducation du consommateur et surtout du consommateur indigène dont la masse devra être amenée peu à peu à la consommation habituelle du poisson ». Alors que les céréales cultivées par les Européens qui possèdent la majeure partie des terres (Abitbol, 2009 : 437) sont exportées, les colons misent sur l'exploitation de produits de la mer. Il s'agit là d'une double volonté d'« éducation » : il faut éduquer l'indigène à changer l'organisation productive de son pays, mais aussi modifier ce qui, selon Lévi-Strauss, traduit les structures d'une société : la façon de manger et pourquoi on mange ce que l'on mange (1965).…”

L’impact du protectorat français sur l’industrie du poisson au Maroc

À la veille de l'installation du protectorat français au Maroc, la population marocaine mange peu de poisson et l'industrie de la pêche n'est pas développée. Aujourd'hui, le Maroc est le premier exportateur mondial de sardines en conserve. Cet article s'attache à comprendre comment les industriels français, en lien avec l'administration du protectorat, ont réussi à transformer le système productif marocain au nom d'un acte « civilisateur » et ceci en utilisant la main d'oeuvre du pays sans toutefois l'associer aux projets. Ils n'ont cependant pas réussi à faire de la société marocaine un débouché pour sa propre production, presque exclusivement destinée à l'exportation.
