(A true account of the author's life living in Eqypt from ...)
A true account of the author's life living in Eqypt from 1959 to 1965. Her book delves into the day to day life of Eqyptians during this time period. She tells of her travels throughout Eqypt - Cairo, the Nile, etc., and even lives in a village mud house adapting to the customs and lifestyle of these local village citizens.

This is a reflexive account of an American woman and her family's unpredictable journey through the private and public worlds of a traditional Muslim city in the process of change. As a Western stranger in Marrakech, Fernea was met with suspicion and hostility. The story of the slow growth of trust and acceptance between the author and her Moroccan neighbors involves the reader in everyday activities, weddings, funerals, and women's rituals. Both the author and her friends are changed by the encounters that she describes. A Street in Marrakech is a crosscultural adventure, ethnographically sound, and written in an accessible style.
