Introduction
In this introduction, we chart the intellectual journey of Susan Gilson Miller and discuss her scholarly contributions to the field of North African Studies, Moroccan historiography and Moroccan Jewish history. We note Miller’s long commitment to foregrounding Maghribi voices, including female and minority accounts. Miller’s work on the Jewish communities of Morocco in particular has skillfully shown the complex position of these communities acro…
Jewish Morocco
The history of Morocco cannot effectively be told without the history of its Jewish inhabitants. Their presence in Northwest Africa pre-dates the rise of Islam and continues to the present day, combining elements of Berber (Amazigh), Arab, Sephardi and European culture. Emily Gottreich examines the history of Jews in Morocco from the pre-Islamic period to post-colonial times, drawing on newly acquired evidence from archival materials in Rabat. Pr…

Of Messiahs and Sultans
Moroccan Jews became “modern” through a complex process of cultural and legal changes resulting in large part from their close encounter with imperial Europe. Institutions like the Alliance Israélite Universelle and the protégé system had an undeniable influence on the transformation of Moroccan Jewish identity and expectations during this period. In order to fully historicize Moroccan Jewish modernity, however—to locate its beginnings as well as…

Historicizing the Concept of Arab Jews in the Maghrib
Historicizing the Concept of Arab Jews in the Maghrib Emily Benichou Gottreich (bio) Keywords Emily Benichou Gottreich, Arab Jews, Exile, Maghrib, Zionist Narratives, Northern Africa, Morocco, post-Zionist discourse, Jewish Identity To begin, a few quick observations about the concept of the "Arab Jew" that prompt the current intervention: (1), it is largely an identity of exile; (2), it implies a particular politics of knowledge vis-à-vis the Is…
Rethinking the "Islamic City" from the Perspective of Jewish Space
In December 1863, Moses Montefiore, the prominent British philanthropist and self-styled defender of world Jewry, came to Morocco. As had been the case with several of his previous visits to the Muslim world, his trip was motivated by reports of the mistreatment of his coreligionists: three Jews from the coastal town of Saffi had been falsely accused of conspiring to murder a Spanish tax collector. By the time Sir Moses arrived on the scene, one …

On the Origins of the Mellah of Marrakesh
In the summer of 1555, by writ of Papal Bull, the ghetto of Rome came into being. Within less than half a decade, across the Mediterranean at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains, the Jews of Marrakesh met a fate not unlike that of their Italian co-religionists when they, too, were transferred to their own “city within a city.” Located where the Moroccan sultan's stables had previously stood, the new walled Jewish quarter of Marrakesh was in fact…
