Description

Orphans of Islam portrays the abject lives and excluded body of abandoned and bastard children in contemporary Morocco, while critiquing the concept and practice of adoption, which too often is considered a panacea. Through a close and historically grounded reading of legal, social, and cultural mechanisms of one predominantly Islamic country, Jamila Bargach shows how the surplus bastard body is created by mainstream society.

Author Biography:

Jamila Bargach received her Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from Rice University. Currently she is residing in Morocco where she is an assistant professor in Anthropology and Sociology at the National School of Architecture.
