Morocco in the Reign of Mawlay Sulayman 1792 - 1822 (facsimile copy)

An authorized facsimile copy of a book that has been out of print for many years.

Hardcover with quality not different from that of the original edition. Originally published by MENAS Press, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, UK, 1989.

The book by Mohammed El Mansour provides a detailed exploration of the reign of Mawlay Sulayman in early nineteenth-century Morocco, a period that has received little scholarly attention due to poor archival sources. It challenges the prevalent narrative that depicts this era as one of political instability and alienation from Europe, arguing instead that, despite dissent, Mawlay Sulayman's rule from 1792 to 1822 brought a degree of peace and economic stimulation within Morocco. The text delves into Mawlay Sulayman's trade policies and their implications for local industries, ultimately highlighting his complex legacy in the broader context of Moroccan history.
