There is no question that the value of a detailed account of Moroccan colonial history in English is an important addition to the field, and Wyrtzen's book will undoubtedly become a reference for Moroccan, North African, and Middle Eastern historians alike.'American Historical ReviewJonathan Wyrtzen's Making Morocco is an extraordinary work of social science history. Making Moroccos historical coverage is remarkably thorough and sweeping; the author exhibits incredible scope in his research and mastery of an immensely rich set of materials from poetry to diplomatic messages in a variety of languages across a century of history.The monograph engages with the most important theorists of nationalism, colonialism, and state formation, and uses Pierre Bourdieus field theory as a framework to orient and organize the sociohistorical problems of the case and to make sense of the different types of problems various actors faced as they moved forward.His analysis makes constant reference to core categories of political sociology state, nation, political field, religious and political authority, identity and social boundaries, classification struggles, etc., and he does so in exceptionally clear and engaging prose. Rather than sidelining what might appear to be more tangential themes in the politics of identity formation in Morocco, Wyrtzen examines deeply not only French colonialism but also the Spanish zone, and he makes central to his analysis the Jewish question and the role of gender. These areas of analysis allow Wyrtzen to examine his outcome of interestwhich is really a historical process of interestfrom every conceivable analytical and empirical angle. The endproduct is an absolutely exemplary study of colonialism, identity formation, and the classification struggles that accompany them.This is not a work of highbrow social theory, but a classic work of history, deeply influenced but not excessively burdened by socialtheoretical baggage.
