Abstract
IN this volume, Dr. Robert Montagne has given his readers, literally, a panorama of social development in Morocco according to his interpretation of certain aspects of material culture. The text is reduced to a minimum; the information is conveyed by a series of excellent photographs. In these are shown the different types of villages, fortified and unfortified dwellings, granaries, hill-forts, and structures of a like character, each of which is regarded as appropriate to some phase of the history of the country, ranging from the small independent agricultural community to centralised government through the agency of local governors or tributary chief. The photographs are arranged in groups accordingly, each group being preceded by a brief general account of the social phase it illustrates.
