The Moor Next Door

Although the region is known as the Middle East and North Africa, coverage of the MENA area has always tended towards the former, leaving countries such as Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania sometimes entirely unexplored. The Moor Next Door single-handedly goes helps fix that balance. Taking an academic and policy-driven approach to Maghreb issues, TMND manages to source and include articles, papers and studies from remotest obscurity to help advance the reader’s understanding of a region rarely considered in conversations on the Middle East.
