What does it mean to be black in Morocco today? What has this meant in the past?

With contributions by an anthropologist, a filmmaker and a writer from Africa, this volume puts recent transformations of Moroccan society into perspective. Beyond studying inequality and spatial segregation, what is at stake is the possibility of transfiguring the stigma of racism through art and research.

This book was published on the occasion of the fourth edition of les rencontres d'Averroès and the exhibition 'Les mains noires' in Kulte Gallery, Rabat, in March 2016, and includes contributions by Omar Berrada, Stefania Pandolfo, Ali Essafi, Emmanuel Iduma and M'barek Bouhchichi.
