Atypically, the author points out the strengths of this North African Berber-Islamic state--larger than present-day Morocco--in the 13th-15th centuries under the rule of Islamophile Marinid tribes. Encompassing her writings from 1976- 93, she discusses the waqf endowment for the public good institution as an example of acculturation to Islamic norms and the Kitab al-ans-ab history text in terms of Berber identity issues. Appendices provides details on this text and the waqf system. Includes illustrations of texts, artifacts, and mosques.
