{"product_id":"thami-al-glaoui-orit-ouaknine-yekutieli-9781399520683","title":"Thami Al-Glaoui: Morocco's Greatest Pasha","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrit Ouaknine-Yekutieli examines the life and deeds of Thami al-Glaoui (1879-1956), and the multiple ways in which his story has been told. She investigates his biography as a creation continuing beyond the demise of its protagonist, asserting a conflation of history, story and storytelling. The book also reconfigures the story of major events and processes in modern Moroccan history and historiography. \u003cbr\u003eThami al-Glaoui, leader of the Amazigh Glaoua tribe and Pasha of Marrakesh throughout Morocco's colonial era (1912-56), was the third most powerful person in Morocco, after the Sultan and the French Resident-General, by the 1930s. In 1953, he was a key supporter of the deportation of Sultan Mohamed V by the French. After recanting three years later, he was pardoned by the returning Sultan, but died shortly afterwards. In the four decades that followed, al-Glaoui became a synonym in Morocco for betrayal and corruption. In the 21st century, however, the ways in which he is told became more complex, and his reputation has been somewhat revised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Orit Ouaknine-Yekutieli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399520687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399520683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Orit Ouaknine-Yekutieli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458062070015,"sku":"9781399520683","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d564e7b-b639-4b1a-9758-2f5808e8b4cd.jpg?v=1777402205","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thami-al-glaoui-orit-ouaknine-yekutieli-9781399520683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
