{"product_id":"the-ethnographic-state-edmund-burke-9780520273818","title":"The Ethnographic State: France and the Invention of Moroccan Islam","description":"Alone among Muslim countries, Morocco is known for its own national form of Islam, \"Moroccan Islam.\" However, this pathbreaking study reveals that Moroccan Islam was actually invented in the early twentieth century by French ethnographers and colonial officers who were influenced by British colonial practices in India. Between 1900 and 1920, these researchers compiled a social inventory of Morocco that in turn led to the emergence of a new object of study, Moroccan Islam, and a new field, Moroccan studies. In the process, they resurrected the monarchy and reinvented Morocco as a modern polity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is an important contribution for scholars and readers interested in questions of orientalism and empire, colonialism and modernity, and the invention of traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund Burke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520273818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520273818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2015 pg. 1382","brand":"Edmund Burke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110634475775,"sku":"9780520273818","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d098d60c-0132-49ae-8b4b-ca7107c7553a.jpg?v=1725469337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ethnographic-state-edmund-burke-9780520273818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
