Ossman, Susan, author.

Picturing Casablanca : portraits of power in a modern city / Susan Ossman.

Berkeley : University of California Press, ©1994.

x, 246 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm

In Picturing Casablanca, Susan Ossman probes the shape and texture of mass images in Casablanca, from posters, films, and videotapes to elections, staged political spectacles, and changing rituals. In a fluid style that blends ethnographic narrative, cultural reportage, and the author's firsthand experiences, Ossman sketches a radically new vision of Casablanca as a place where social practices, traditions, and structures of power are in flux. -- Publisher description.
