Rediscovering The Roots Of Moroccan Geography In An Era Of Interdependence, Donald J. Zeigler, Driss Fassi

The Geographical Bulletin

The indigenous traditions of Moroccan geography, pioneered by such figures as AI Idrisi and Ibn Khaldun during the classical period of Arab intellectual history (1000-1400), came to be ignored and then replaced with the establishment of a French protectorate in 1912. The era of independence in Moroccan geography was supplanted by an era of dependence on European scholarship, which emphasized resource exploitation and which was to last until political independence in 1956. Following that watershed year, intellectual inquiry became more independent and focused on the development needs of the nation. Following a period of Moroccanization in the 1970s, which included …

A Relationship Between Education And Recidivism With Individuals Under Federal Supervision In The Western District Of North Carolina, Matthew John Wzorek
