| Summary |
Reconnaissance au Maroc is Charles de Foucauld's adventurous memoir of exploring Morocco. For eleven months in 1883-84, Foucauld travelled incognito through a country then off-limits to Europeans, mapping its waterways. This book is a translation of Foucauld's memoir into English, with an extensive introduction and notes that contextualize the work within Francophone post-colonial studies.-- Provided by publisher |
