«How do you picture the history of Morocco through its Jewish lens? How do you sum up the complexities and contradictions of centuries of Jewish-Muslim encounters and relations and dynasties? Emily Gottreich’s book has not only taken on these challenging questions but has delivered on their promise.»

«This book is an intriguing foray into major themes in Moroccan history and invites readers to reconsider any simple understanding of the relationship between Muslim majorities and religious minorities in the region. It has much to offer to undergraduate students, scholars of the region, and general readers interested in North African and Jewish history.»
