Following the story of one middle class family as they work, eat, love, and grow, Everyday Life in Global Morocco provides a moving and engaging exploration of how world issues impact lives. Rachel Newcomb shows how larger issues like gentrification, changing diets, and nontraditional approaches to marriage and fertility are changing what the everyday looks and feels like in Morocco.

By placing personal experiences within the larger national and global context, the author provides a sympathetic view into the dislocation and upheaval experienced today by a large sector of Moroccan society, resulting from sweeping global forces.

A highly readable, insightful, and truly informative work, Everyday Life in Global Morocco is a significant addition to a long line of anthropological scholarship on Morocco intensely concerned with understanding and pluralizing modernity's potentialities and discontents. It will be valuable to students and scholars interested in globalization's material and symbolic terrains.
