Join us as we dive into a new book each month exploring Arabic culture, arts, and experiences. In celebration of Black History Month, we are excited to share Cynthia J Becker’s “Blackness in Morocco: Gnawa Identity through Music and Visual Culture.”
“Absolutely groundbreaking, Blackness in Morocco is the work of a trailblazing intellect. Showing that 'blackness' is constructed in Africa as elsewhere in the world, Cynthia J. Becker demonstrates a deep commitment to Gnawa lived experience, forever changing how we understand the religions and aesthetics of Africa.” —Prita Meier, author of Swahili Port Cities: The Architecture of Elsewhere
