"Travels in Morocco, Volume 2" by James Richardson is a detailed travelogue written in the mid-19th century. This second volume offers an in-depth exploration of Morocco's diverse people, cultures, and historical contexts, particularly focusing on the intricacies of Jewish and Moorish interactions, the political dynamics of the Shereefian dynasty, and the cultural richness found within different Moroccan regions. The work showcases a mix of observations and critiques regarding societal norms, religious practices, and the complexities faced by minority communities within Moroccan society. At the start of this volume, Richardson immerses readers in the vibrant life of Mogador, where he contrasts the experiences of local Jewish and Moorish populations. He discusses the evolving status of Jews in their societal interplay with Moors, highlighting the tensions, traditions, and significant changes that have occurred over time. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the cultural practices of different communities, societal hierarchies, and the presence of superstition within daily life. Additionally, Richardson begins to delve into historical accounts and the lineage of Moroccan dynasties, setting the stage for a broader examination of the empire's complex history as the narrative unfolds.
