Intersection register · custodian, not owner

At the crossroads of the routes of the southern High Atlas and the Drâa valley, Ouarzazate had an active mellah whose families played an essential commercial role in exchanges between the Berber mountain populations and the Sahara. The community declined after Moroccan independence and emigrated largely to Israel and France.

Great Book being written

This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Ouarzazate give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.

You know a date — a remembrance, a hilloula, the anniversary of a departure? Give it its day
