{"product_id":"9781633559424","title":"Morocco (Major Muslim Nations Series)","description":"Early Arab geographers referred to Morocco as Al-Maghreb al-Aqsa-\"the farthest land of the setting sun.\" Today this country in the northwest corner of Africa-long a crossroads for trade from Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, and the East-retains a distinctly exotic feel, with its colorful mix of Middle Eastern, African, and Western cultures. But Morocco is also a nation struggling to emerge from a difficult colonial past and a recent history of human-rights violations. If the country succeeds in its quest to develop stable and democratic political institutions as well as a vibrant economy-and to accomplish these goals without violence-Morocco may serve as a powerful example to the Arab world. Discusses the geography, history, economy, government, religion, people, foreign relations, and major cities of Morocco.","brand":"Mason Crest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130870186224,"sku":"9781633559424","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781633559424_p0.jpg?v=1763677133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781633559424","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
