Type: article

Abstract: L. Valensi — The Chronophagous King. The Construction of an Historical Consciousness in Postcolonial Morocco. This essay on the construction of collective memory in new states presents a case study of Morocco after it became independent in 1956. Based on a study of Moroccan newspapers, it shows how the free market of national symbols that prevailed in the early years of independence was enventually transformed into a monopoly of the monarch who used the past as one of the devices for his self celebration.
