I wish someone told me not to get off the car when stopped by a cop as a sign of respect for them.
I wish someone told me not to pick up random kids in the park and kiss them on the cheeks like we do on Morocco without being considered psychos.
In this stunning work of historical fiction, Laila Lalami brings us the imagined memoirs of the first black explorer of Americaa Moroccan slave whose testimony was left out of the official record.
Abdessamad Nhairy came to the US from Morocco in 1989. Before coming to the US, he worked for the American Language Center in Casablanca. After arriving in the US, Mr. Nhairy went back to school and pursued his education in the tour and travel industry. In 1994, he opened a new travel agency to promote Morocco as an exotic destination to American travelers.
Thanks for the great service you are doing to the moroccan community here in the States
