Description: 'Social Currents in North Africa' presents a multi-disciplinary analysis of social phenomena unfolding in the Maghreb today. It explores some of the most salient institutional and cultural parameters at work, through topics ranging from the workings of religious belief in the public sphere to the moral economies of language instruction and cultural production. Abi-Mershed delivers critical comments on the genealogies of contemporary North African behavioural and ideological norms, and offers insights into the new rationalities of governance after 2011.
