Abd el-Krim's guerrilla war against Spain and France in North Africa: An adventure setting for screen melodramas / Er, Mevliyar; Rich, Paul B   Article
Rich, Paul B Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Riffian rebel leader Mohammed Abd el-Krim Al-Khattabi (1882–1963) became an important early guerrilla leader by successfully initiating extensively organized resistance in the Moroccan Rif against Spanish and French imperial power in the early 1920s. The Rif War triggered a wave of adventure films since the 1930s. This article will look at some of these, especially Sergeant Klems (1971) and The Wind and the Lion (1975), and suggest that they can be seen in terms of the wider impact of screen Orientalism derived from the iconic film Lawrence of Arabia (1962) directed by David Lean. The article will show that these films promoted what it terms a colonial gaze by underlining many stereotyped cinematic clichés relating to the Islamic cultural area and Abd el-Krim's revolt that stretch back to the early history of cinema.

Collapse of the imamate and foreign intervention / Ferris, Jesse   Journal Article
Ferris, Jesse Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract his paper considers the various factors at play in the buildup to the 1962 revolution and its immediate aftermath, focusing on the role of foreign and particularly Egyptian intervention. Relying primarily on Yemeni and Egyptian sources, it concludes that the collapse of the Imamate owed primarily to domestic factors, and that Egyptian involvement proved more important to the outcome of the revolution than to its instigation.
