Back in 1969 when Morocco's ancient capital was a hashish clouded happy mecca, Crosby, Stills and Nash recorded their cheesy (and hopelessly inaccurate) foot-tapping anthem 'Marrakech Express'. A generation on, award-winning journalist, author, and one-time glamrock fan Peter Millar uses what is now the country's best visited tourist destination as the embarkation point for a literally reverse-engineered train journey through this still exotic, diverse and challenging North African country, struggling to maintain its unique blend of tradition and tolerance in the turbulent winds of the Arab Spring.

Filled with deliciously vivid dishes, Marrakesh Express features over 120 mouth-watering and easily reproducible recipes along with stories and images that take the reader on a journey to the legendary land of Morocco.The Moroccan culinary patrimony is rich and diverse. Strongly anchored in the Arab civilization, it uses sumptuous spices such as saffron, sweet cinnamon, and pungent clove. Its delectable fruit-inspired desserts and honey-glazed pastries evoke the scent of orange blossoms and rose. Moroccan cuisine is also unmistakably Mediterranean. Its liberal use of fresh ingredients and herbs such as coriander, mint, and rosemary places Moroccan gastronomy at the heart of Mediterranean cooking. In this book, Nisrine Merzouki celebrates her countryâs flavors with recipes such as Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash and Wheat Berries, Berry and Pistachio Couscous with Vanilla Yogurt and Raspberry Jelly,Tagine of Veal with Dried Apricots and Almonds, Cumin Lamb Keftas andHoney and Cinnamon Ice Cream.

Until attention shifted to the Middle East in the early 1970s, Americans turned most often toward the Maghreb—Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and the Sahara—for their understanding of “the Arab.” In Morocco Bound, Brian T. Edwards examines American representations of the Maghreb during three pivotal decades—from 1942, when the United States entered the North African campaign of World War II, through 1973. He reveals how American film and literary, historical, journalistic, and anthropological accounts of the region imagined the role of the United States in a world it seemed to dominate at the same time that they displaced domestic social concerns—particularly about race relations—onto an “exotic” North Africa. Edwards reads a broad range of texts to recuperate the disorienting possibilities for rethinking American empire. Examining work by William Burroughs, Jane Bowles, Ernie Pyle, A. J. Liebling, Jane Kramer, Alfred Hitchcock, Clifford Geertz, James Michener, Ornette Coleman, General George S. Patton, and others, he puts American texts in conversation with an archive of Maghrebi responses. Whether considering Warner Brothers’ marketing of the movie Casablanca in 1942, journalistic representations of Tangier as a city of excess and queerness, Paul Bowles’s collaboration with the Moroccan artist Mohammed Mrabet, the hippie communities in and around Marrakech in the 1960s and early 1970s, or the writings of young American anthropologists working nearby at the same time, Edwards illuminates the circulation of American texts, their relationship to Maghrebi history, and the ways they might be read so as to reimagine the role of American culture in the world.
