It analyzes the central role played by discourse about the body or, more precisely, about sexuality in creating a sociopolitical sex and gender hierarchy in Morocco. The global gender gap report ranks Morocco out of nations.
Typical topics of study include the veil, legal discrimination against women, ten- sions between modernity and traditions, and the heated debates raging between defenders of cultural specificity and those who defend the prin- ciple that rights are universal. Oftentimes scholars conducting research of this kind even obscure the everyday sexual, economic, and sociopolitical exploitation they presume to be studying. Thus, this work exposes in an analytic manner the social and political dynamics that devalue the feminine.
