Anthropology and photography have been linked since the nineteenth century, but their relationship has never been entirely comfortable--and has grown less so in recent years. Nostalgia for the Present aims to repair that relationship by involving intentional participants in an inclusive conversation; it is the fruit of a collaboration among an ethnographer, a photographer, a group of Moroccan farmers, and Abdelkrim Bamouh--a native intellectual whose deep understanding of rural Morocco made him not merely a translator but a facilitator of the dialogue. The result is an arresting portrait of everyday life in Tagharghist, a contemporary High Atlas village. The pictures are central, and the text built around them creates a dialogical form of visual ethnography. Nostalgia for the Present is both a memorialization of a people and a way of life, and a rich foray into the potential of interdisciplinary collaboration. The photos in this book evoke a sense of nostalgia, a longing, and the words explore the contexts and ambiguities that vitalize it. As the book concludes, nostalgia happens in our present, and is about our future. It is a call from our heart (or our liver, as villagers would say) to attend carefully to something we are leaving, something our gut tells us we ought to cherish and preserve, and bring with us on our inexorable march into the unknown.

Les Ghoujdama, tribu du Haut Atlas, par leur ancrage dans l'histoire et leur capacité d'adaptation au monde moderne constituent un cas exemplaire pour comprendre le Maroc et par-delà le monde rural maghrébin. Par une étude historique solide, l'auteur nous montre les Ghoujdama à l'aube du xxe siècle, sous la double domination du Glaoui et du Protectorat et depuis l'indépendance. Grâce à la connaissance intime de ce milieu dont il est issu, ALI AMAHAN, dans le sillage de Robert Montagne, Jacques Berque, Paul Pascon, Pierre Bourdieu, aborde avec acuité, justesse et authenticité l'analyse des mutations sociales chez les Ghoujdama. Il révèle les mécanismes enfouis dans les structures sociales et mentales, dévoile la dynamique spécifique qui incite au changement mais aussi à la résistance, et montre que la confrontation entre changement et permanence n'est en fait que la juxtaposition de deux systèmes, l'un moderne et puissant, l'autre traditionnel et ancestral. Ces systèmes se complètent et ne s'opposent que rarement ; ils s'appuient mutuellement l'un sur l'autre pour perdurer et évoluer.
