By conflating Blackness, African ancestry, and slavery, the initiative legitimized the subjugation of free Muslim Black Moroccans. The legally untenable project also functioned as an anti-marronage measure, targeting those who resisted enslavement by fleeing to sympathetic communities. Narratives of marronage remain conspicuously absent from Moroccan historiography, despite the presence of archival fragments attesting to acts of defiance and agency among the enslaved, evidenced by flight, sanctuary-seeking, and other strategies of resistance. This study interrogates these archival traces to disrupt dominant historical narratives and recover suppressed histories of Black resistance. By reading historical documents against the grain, it seeks to reconcile Morocco’s past with its silenced legacies of slavery and freedom, offering a corrective to the erasure of Black agency in North African history.

An Interactive Interview Prep Workshop Week 5: How FABulous You Are! An Interactive Interview Prep Workshop with Melissa Reitkopp Cornell '85 Wednesday, April 30 at 12:30pm Think of an interview as a chance to market yourself-it's all about being prepared with the right info and knowing how to close. Anticipating questions and sharing clear, impactful responses will make you more effective. We will work in an interactive workshop to learn the FAB (Features, Accomplishments, Benefits) method that incorporates a behavioral interview technique called STAR (Situation, Task, Action Results), a game-changer for interview prep. The FAB with STAR stories is a powerful way to help you "show, not tell." Solid prep means you'll feel more confident, provide stronger answers, and have better conversations. Don't forget to identify and overcome any objections with key closing questions. false
