With a postcolonially-inflected concern, this book attempts to approach in an interdisciplinary manner a set of narratives that have not been previously explored in western academia. It offers a discussion about the aesthetic, discursive, and cultural implications of Zafz¿f 's works that rethink canonical formations of literary texts in Morocco.

Established in 1971, Nass el-Ghiwane is a legendary musical group that transformed the Moroccan music scene in the last decades of the 20th century. The charismatic founding member Larbi Batma (1948-1997) through his lyrics brought to light Moroccan folklore and obscure poetry. His autobiography Al-rä¿l, blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction and deals with social issues plaguing post-independence Morocco. Providing a reading of Al-rä¿l, this book is the first in English to examine the work of Nass el-Ghiwane, as well as the emergence of al-¿ghniya al-Gh¿waniya as a musical genre and the social conditions that fostered its growth.
