The end of World War II intensified Morocco’s nationalist struggle against French colonial rule, with the establishment of the Istiqlal (‘independence’) party and the Moroccan Sultan’s emergence as a national leader. In this book, Daniel Zisenwine charts the rise of Morocco’s leading nationalist party, and illustrates the weakness of Moroccan political parties at the outset of the anti-colonial struggle. While Morocco today faces formidable challenges, its political system remains profoundly influenced by the events charted in this book. Drawing from a wide range of previously unpublished sources, Daniel Zisenwine presents the background to the Istiqlal’s establishment, its initial actions and demands, and an extensive discussion of its social activities aimed at mobilizing the Moroccan public during the anti-colonial struggle.
