Why was China an enchanted land in my childhood? The Chinese edition is the 30th translation of "Dreams of Trespass" which is my only fiction and was first published in 1994. When the Indonesians translated the book, I did not think they needed a new introduction since they were familiar with Moslem culture, but I thought that the Chinese needed one! |

Travel Across the Civic Morocco Fatema Mernissi's new book "Les Sindbads marocains" (French original) has been released in Morocco. (Italian edition "Karawan: dal deserto al web", October 2004, Spanish edition forthcoming 2005.) Le livre démontre que le Maroc, qui n'a pas de pétrole, a eu l'intelligence de miser sur le cerveau humin en jouant la combinaison gagnate : initiative civique plus libéralisation des télécommunications. |

New Collective Books from Synergie Civique Il existe sur le marché une panoplie de guides de tourisme sur le Maroc, plus ou moins prestigieux, mais partageant tous la particularité d'être écrits par des non-Marocains ! Ce livre nous introduit dans l'univers souterrain de l'indicible, celui des épouses, mères et soeurs des prisonniers politiques, comme il a le mérite de capter des fragments de souvenirs vacillants des foules féminines tourbillonant autour des portes angoissantes des prisons. |
