Why read it?
1 author picked Moroccan Households in the World Economy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Berber village of Tadrar clings to the steep slopes of the High Atlas. Lives are hard.
Women, men and children labor to bring precious water to homes, fields, and byres, to coax barley from narrow terraces, keep houses warm, feed families, tend the sick, and support the mosque and school. Most younger people go to the city for work, at least for a while, sending money home to help their families.
So how do families and individuals view their options, their place in the village and in the world?
Vivid interviews and observations stud Crawford’s affectionate and perceptive account…
From Alexander's list on village lives as keys to history.
