A Street in Marrakech

This is a reflexive account of an American woman and her family¿s unpredictable journey through the private and public worlds of a traditional Muslim city in the process of change. As a Western stranger in Marrakech, Fernea was met with suspicion and hostility. The story of the slow growth of trust and acceptance between the author and her Moroccan neighbors involves the reader in everyday activities, weddings, funerals, and women¿s rituals. Both the author and her friends are changed by the encounters that she describes. A Street in Marrakech is a crosscultural adventure, ethnographically sound, and written in an accessible style.Elizabeth Warnock Fernea is the author of 'A Street in Marrakech', published 1988 under ISBN 9780881334043 and ISBN 0881334049.
