Dr. Marie-Pierre Ulloa is a cultural and intellectual historian of Francophone colonial and post-colonial North Africa at Stanford University. She teaches the history of French and Francophone verbal and visual arts in a transnational context, with a focus on France, the Maghreb, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean representations of the American West.
The topic is very specific: The urban scene of Casablanca during the French Protectorate was characterized by an important Jewish presence, when migrants from the coastal cities, and later the interior regions, as well as citizens from Algeria and Tunisia joined the already significant contingent present when Hubert Lyautey’s administration was put into place.
That is definitely a fascinating and engaging event about the beautiful legendary Moroccan city.
