Morocco? A kingdom where a king expert in survival and endowed with a divine "baraka" ('grace' in Arabic), plays with plots and oppositions? A world where everything changes, from party acronyms to the tricks of power, so that nothing changes? Seductive common sense ... or rather clichés that Professor Mounia Bennani-Chraïbi from the University of Lausanne debunks throughout her last book: Political parties and protests in Morocco (1934-2020). Through a long-term investigation, Prof. Bennani-Chraïbi puts in enigma violent or latent political struggles without dissociating protest dynamics and partisan logic.
