This book is a translation of an important source of Moroccan history sources written in Hebrew. It had been written by Rabbis of Ibn Danan family emigrated from Granada to Fez in the fifteenth century.
As much as interested in history of the Jewish community in Fez and in Morocco, this book has reflected also pages of Moroccan Muslim society history .
Kitab Attawarikh or Divre ha- yamim shel Fas reflect spaces of coexistence, and relates moments of misunderstanding.
Whatever the case, this book is the first book written bay Moroccan Jews translated into Arabic by a Moroccan Muslim scholar. It provides for Moroccans (Muslims and Jews) pages of shared history in the LAND OF ATLAS.

El presente artículo recoge las principales aportaciones literarias que proporcionan conocimiento urbano sobre la Medina de Tetuán. Su objetivo es arrojar luz sobre sus hitos constructivos y las circunstancias que los acompañaron, desde su primer levantamiento, en el siglo IX, hasta la etapa del Protectorado Español, ya en el siglo XX. Estos relatos provienen de fuentes muy variadas: geógrafos, científicos, militares, eruditos, literatos o simples interesados, que visitaron la ciudad en distintas épocas y dieron valiosos datos históricos del desarrollo urbano-arquitectónico que siguió la Medina. En conjunto, entre otras aportaciones de carácter literario, ayudan a establecer, con relativa precisión, la evolución urbana de la Medina, desde su fundación hasta el momento contemporáneo

In the Arab world, the recognized children of elite men and slave women could adopt the status of their father, ignoring the slave origin of the mother, owing to a system of patrilineal transmission. This regime co-existed with negative stereotypes toward slaves and blackness, despite the very fact that—as this study of notable families in Tetouan between 1859 and 1956 demonstrates—skin color was not the determinant factor to form part of this group. Rather, it was based on the social definition
of filiation, leading to legal disputes between family members to elineate the boundaries of kinship.

Analyses of the migrations from Morocco in the second half of the twentieth century tend to view them as part of a larger pattern of South-to-North postcolonial circular migration, while Jewish Moroccan migration is deemed an exceptional national phenomenon, unrelated to the study of these global developments. Yet, Jewish migration from northern Morocco to Venezuela was characterised and influenced by a number of sub-regional, ethno- religious, linguistic, and even racial peculiarities, whose analyses may broaden our perspective on the global dynamics of Moroccan postcolonial migration: for example, the status of northern Morocco and Venezuela as a hub for Spanish settlers, Venezuela’s post-1945 open-door policy toward European immigration, and the Judeo-Spanish backgrounds of immigrants from Morocco. In the absence of bilateral migration agreements between Morocco and Venezuela, examining Moroccan Jewish migration to the latter can also shed light on the prominent role of informal networks in shaping global migration from North Africa, and explain why Muslim Moroccans did not immigrate to Venezuela even as many were migrating elsewhere. A focus on grassroots histories of this sort may help advance the scholarship beyond the narratives of mass minority departure, labour migration, and integration that usually treat Morocco and other countries of emigration as homogeneous national units.

Context: The flora of the Bouhachem Regional Natural Park has been studied by many botanists and ecologists, but the analysis of the medicinal and economic values of these plants is still weak and poorly documented. Within the framework of this study, further investigations will be carried out into the value of indigenous medicinal plants and the documentation of their ethnopharmacological knowledge. In addition, due to their important socioeconomic role as a second source of income after agriculture, the evaluation of the commercial activity of aromatic and medicinal plants (AMP) will also be taken into account. Aims: To evaluate the ethnobotanical and commercialized medicinal plants in north region of Morocco in which traditional medicine is widespread. Methods: The uses of medicinal plants in traditional phytotherapy were researched through 700 question cards, in Bni-Leit and Al-Oued districts, which are a part of the Naturel Regional Park of Bouhachem. A series of ethnobotanical, economic and sociocultural surveys/interviews were conducted among the local population in the study area, between March 2014 and July 2016. Results: This Ethnobotanical study identified 101 medicinal plant species belonging to 46 families, of which the most abundant are Lamiaceae (FUV: 1.87). This study also revealed that the leaves are the most used parts of the plant (26%) and that the most remedies are prepared as decoction (27%). Digestive disorders rank first among the diseases treated by these plants with a rate of 21%. Conclusions: The present study shows that the traditional use of medicinal plants still persists and constitutes a very rich heritage in the northern of Morocco. Therefore, this important indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants would be exploited in pharmaceutical research. It reveals that urgent action is needed to promote a sustainable and best practices to reduce the increasing scale of exploitation of AMPs for commercial use and to draw the attention of Park managers to the preservation of these plants from genetic erosion by a rational management.

The ‘War of Africa’/‘War of Tetouan’ (1859-60) and the subsequent Spanish occupation of Tetouan (1860-62) have commonly been considered a historical landmark signaling the end of Morocco’s independence. While it is hardly arguable that Spain consolidated its position in Morocco throughout the second half of the nineteenth century thanks to the favorable conditions established in the treaties that followed the end of the war, the goal of this article is to nuance the reification of the power of the colonizers and the powerlessness of the colonized that many historiographical narratives have purported. I will analyze the political change that took place among the Spaniards who were on the ground during the initial stage of the occupation of Tetouan. Despite mainly relying on Spanish sources, I will also highlight the ways in which Moroccan diplomacy, the city’s inhabitants, and local practices shaped this transformation by creating anxieties that permeated the Spanish colonization. I argue that the Spaniards on the ground increasingly empathized with – and even admired – the local population, and consequently constructed notions of Hispano-Moroccan similarity. This colonial mimesis went hand in hand with the perception of Moroccans as unyielding, which ultimately led the Spanish to admit the difficulty, even impossibility, of their colonialist venture.

Knowledge of the way different variables affect thermal comfort has been used to formulate thermal indices that indicate the effects of combining the different variables on comfort. A thermal index measures the stress imposed by external conditions and predicts the optimal environment needed for comfort within the dwelling. It offers the architect a scientific chance of evaluating comfort. In this study we are interested to adopt the building bioclimatic chart concept to Tetouan in the north of Morocco. Such techniques would be useful to define potential building design strategies to achieve indoor comfort in the early design stage.

The purpose of this work is to contribute to the description of marital practices in Northern Morocco, to follow the evolution of these practices, and to determine the motives for marriages between relatives. Thus our results show a highly significant positive correlation between the age of the two spouses (r = 0.619, p <0.001), with the mean age of the mothers being 49.03 ± 6.56 years, while for the fathers it is 56,02 ± 6,16 years with a difference of 7 years between the two spouses in the current generation. For consanguineous marriages, we identified 51 relatives, namely a frequency of 25.4% for the generation of studied couples GCE, 13.3% for the generation of paternal grandparents GGPP, and 17.5% for the generation of maternal grandparents GGPM. The intergenerational comparison reveals a highly significant increase in the percentage of consanguinity, ranging from the generation of grandparents (15.4%) to that of the studied couples (25.4%), with a difference of 10% (p˂0.001). These results also show that there is a strong association between the prevalence of consanguineous marriages and the group of women under 19 years old (p = 0.002), whereas for husbands it is noted that There is no association between marital status and age at marriage. The coefficient of consanguinity estimated by isonymy is almost twice as large as the coefficient of inbreeding estimated by genealogy.

Como resultado de los Planes de Acción en desarrollo del Plan Estratégico de Tamuda (2008-2012) se ha considerado conveniente realizar trabajos arqueológicos diversos centrados en la actualización de la crono-secuencia del yacimiento, de cara a su próxima apertura al público. En este trabajo presentamos la información actualizada sobre el poblamiento en esta zona del río Martil, con un asentamiento estable desde época púnica –e indicios de ocupación precedente– la construcción de una imponente ciudad helenística en el siglo II a.C. y la instalación de un campamento en época de cons- titución de la provincia, activo hasta la primera mitad del siglo V d.C. De manera sucinta se plantean las diferentes hipótesis previas y se razona la cronología planteada en esta sede, en base a criterios estratigráficos.

This chapter analysis of the diverse linguistic attitudes observed in two Moroccan communities, the meaning of these attitudes, and their impact on the linguistic process of levelling and accommodation. It focuses on a particular context: Northwestern Morocco, and specifically on the city of Tetouan and the adjacent rural region of Ghomara. The distribution of the newly arrived population is an interesting factor when analysing the linguistic geography of Tetouan. Ghomara is part of the Jbala region which forms a linguistic and cultural continuum. The several areas of fieldwork have been conducted with many types of informants, that is to say, those whose sociolinguistic profiles were different. The linguistic evolution of the city of Tetouan is peculiar when compared with other varieties spoken in Morocco. It is known that the origin of linguistic changes and phenomena like levelling and accommodation is contact among different varieties resulting from geographic mobility and the improvement of education and means of transportation.

RESUMEN
Este artículo pretende analizar las causas y consecuencias de la política colonial desplegada en el protectorado español por el general Varela y su incidencia en la actividad del movimiento nacionalista tetuaní dentro y fuera de Marruecos. Con esta finalidad abordamos y contextualizamos sendas actuaciones en la coyuntura regional, nacional e internacional de la época. Para ello nos hemos servido, además del corpus bibliográfico existente, del cotejo de la documentación nacionalista que albergan los archivos privados de la antigua Zona Norte con los fondos del archivo del general Varela.
