"In the invasion of Africa, British and other European military expeditions employed tactics and means that caused enormous loss of lives and destruction of property. ...Africa's defeat revealed not only nineteenth century weaknesses in African military capability and organization, but going into the twenty first century Africa remains as militarily weak and unable to repel external military aggression as it was unable to at the end of the nineteenth century." -Dr. Lawrence Mbogoni (Preface) This book received the Professor D. Simon Evans Prize for its distinguished contribution to scholarship.

This book examines the changes that occurred in the Moroccan social hierarchy from the pre-Protectorate to the post-Independence period (1860 -2000). It argues that the actions of slaves encouraged changes in the institution of slavery. These changes combined with the forces of economic modernization to reshape social configurations in nineteenth century Morocco. The study draws heavily on Arabic, Berber and French archival and oral data collected in France and Morocco. This book contains 12 color photographs.
