Presents a review of the Moroccan kingdom and its people, past and present. It addresses issues and problems - equal rights for women and correction of economic and social disparities - and asks the question: can this ancient Muslim kingdom embrace western democracy in an era of divisions between the Islamic world and the West?

In Morocco, Marvine Howe, a former correspondent for The New York Times presents an incisive and comprehensive review of the Moroccan kingdom and its people, past and present. It addresses emerging issues and problems - equal rights for women, elimination of corruption and correction of glaring economic and social disparities - and asks the fundamental question: can this ancient Muslim kingdom embrace western democracy in an era of deepening divisions between the Islamic world and the West?

Marvine Howe, who has reported for The New York Times from Africa, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and the Balkans, began her career as a free-lance journalist in North Africa. Her first book The Prince and I was about the Moroccan independence movement. Her latest book was Turkey Today: A Nation Divided over Islam's Revival. She lives in Lexington, Virginia, works out of Oeiras, Portugal and travels frequently in the Islamic world.
