'British Travel Writers in Morocco, 1856-1937: Discursive Encounters is a compelling and theoretically sophisticated account of travelogues by the British consular agents, missionaries, journalists, tourists, entrepreneurs, geographers, artists, settlers and chancers who poured into Morocco in significant numbers following the "General Treaty between Great Britain and Morocco" of 1856 which established British economic influence and its cancelation in 1937. We are introduced to the eager and evangelical reformers who wrote home about a savage land in need of British Christian civilisation and manufactured goods, and to those who disagreed, arguing that wealth extraction was more efficiently achieved by leaving things as they were. And we meet romantic travellers who, regretting the progression of modern industrial civilization, deplored British imperial policies and enthusiastically greeted the arrival of the French and Spanish Protectorates after 1912 which they thought would finally bring political stability and progress. Informed by recent advances in post-colonial theory, Aammari unravels and reveals the multiple interests and perspectives that shaped how British travellers viewed and (mis-)represented Morocco and its culture while admiring the variety and beauty of the land. Besides contributing to our understanding of Anglo-Moroccan relations, this study also illuminates Mediterranean history more generally in a fascinating period of European imperialism in incipient decay.' - Gerald MacLean, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Exeter.
