Focusing on the Golden Age of Fez from the 13th to 16th centuries, the book explores the rise of the Marinid dynasty, which transformed the city into a hub of education, art, and commerce. The Marinids, as non-Arabs, established legitimacy through the founding of medresas and supported cultural and economic growth, expanding their influence into an empire. Maya Shatzmiller presents a detailed historical panorama, spotlighting key figures and events that shaped this vibrant era across North Africa and the Mediterranean.
