Morocco: A Cultural Collage

Abstract: 6 pages in length. Morocco's twelve-hundred-year history is equally interspersed with characteristics of "an ancient kingdom and a new nation" (Rinehart, 1991, p. PG); when one looks back at what is one of the world's oldest states, one cannot help but harbor a deep respect for the manner by which Morocco emerged against similar conditions that plague current-day developing countries. Two of the most difficult of all challenges Morocco has faced throughout its extensive history reflect its "struggle for legitimacy by ruling dynasties and the seemingly contradictory evidence of remarkable institutional continuity in the midst of political disunity, ethnic diversity, and tribal discord" (Rinehart, 1991, p. PG). Bibliography lists 5 sources.
