by Rida Lamrini (1998)
S’adressant aux jeunes et moins jeunes qui rêvent d’horizons lumineux, l’auteur livre les réflexions d’un père soucieux de l’avenir du Maroc. Il témoigne sans complaisance de la souffrance sociale de son époque, met en question nos attitudes de citoyens et s’interroge comment en sommes-nous arrivés là et par quels moyens nous en sortir ? Ce livre est un message d’espoir, une invitation à l’expression courageuse sur les affaires publiques et l’implication dynamique dans la vie politique. L’espoir est toujours permis à condition que gouvernants et gouvernés s’investissent résolument et avec abnégation dans la construction du Maroc dans lequel pourront s’épanouir nos enfants.

Elizabeth York Enstam
Throughout the history of Dallas, women have worked both alongside and apart from the men now remembered as the city's founders and builders. In truth, women helped to create the definitive forms of urban life by establishing organizations and agencies that altered the responsibilities and functions of local government, amended the public conception of political issues, changed the city's physical structure, and affected the day-to-day lives of thousands of people. In Women and the Creation of Urban Life, Elizabeth York Enstam examines how women stretched, redefined, and at times erased the essentially artificial boundaries between female and male, between "the private" and "the public" as aspects of human endeavor. Enstam traces the ways national trends were expressed at the local level and analyzes women's accomplishments and the importance of their work as they assumed community leadership in perpetuating the traditions, education, fine arts, and customs of the larger culture, and in implementing Progressive principles in a specific community.
