This collection addresses the
major problems that Maghreb countries--Algeria, Morocco,
Tunisia, and Libya--have faced in the last two decades
and the cultural and economic issues facing them today,
an unusually wide-ranging interdisciplinary study that
brings together scholars from the region of North Africa
itself as well as from the U.S. and Europe.
