AB "A history of Jews in Morocco from the 1930s through the 1970s, this book traces how Jewish communists went from being outsiders (even pariahs) vis-à-vis the Makhzan to being embraced as the "Sultan's communists." Her narrative offers welcome nuance to our understanding of how Jews in Morocco were and are viewed--by their non-Jewish neighbors, by the Moroccan government, by American Jewish organizations, and even by tourists and scholars"--
