The Sultan's communists : Moroccan Jews and the politics of belonging / Alma Rachel Heckman.

• Introduction : the Sultan's communists -- Choices : fascism and anti-fascism in interwar Morocco -- Possibilities : World War II and Moroccan Jewish belonging -- Tactics : Jews and Moroccan independence -- Splinters : disillusion and Jewish political life in the new Morocco -- Cooptation : the Moroccan Cold War, Israel and human rights -- Scarification : a conclusion. 

• "A history of Jews in Morocco from the 1930s through the 1970s, this book traces how Jewish communists went from being outsiders (even pariahs) vis-à-vis the Makhzan to being embraced as the "Sultan's communists." Her narrative offers welcome nuance to our understanding of how Jews in Morocco were and are viewed--by their non-Jewish neighbors, by the Moroccan government, by American Jewish organizations, and even by tourists and scholars"--
