Starting with Oscar Wilde and André Gide in the 1890's, for the next 100 years North Africa was to be a favourite destination for gay men seeking a mixture of sea, sand, sunshine and maybe something else. This book relates the adventures and antics of those gay travellers and expats in the three countries of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia between 1890 and 1990. Much of it is based on their own words given to us in interviews. Many of the destinations mentioned here along the north African coast were visited by either Wilde, Gide or Genet. But it is Tangier where we spend the most time, since that city was for over fifty years the Mecca of gay travellers. So as you read, imagine yourself up in the Kasbah of each of the old cities, looking down and seeing what those gays are doing down in the main part of the town. We are sure you will find something of interest.

"When Tariq is captured from his safe life in a Tangier orphanage and sold into slavery as a camel jockey, his adventures begin. Along with his new friends Aseem, Margaret and Fez, Tariq gets sold to the tyrant Caid Ali Tamzali - entering a dangerous world of deceit and violence. Forced to compete in deadly camel races, and suffer the abuse of his slave master, Tariq must rely on his wits and his newfound friendships to survive. From the corrupt slave trade of Tangier, to the wild frontier of the Moroccan desert; into the heart of ancient China, and onto the pirated seas of the Mediterranean."

This book offers a novel and interdisciplinary exploration of revolution as situated protest in Tunisia. Larbi Sadiki and Layla Saleh present extensive local evidence to demonstrate that popular resistance has been a mainstay of modern Tunisia before, during, and after colonialism. Protest makes peoplehood, and peoplehood makes protest: neither is self-contained. The book explores the rich history and diversity of insurrectionary politics in Tunisia from the onset of protests in the 1960s up to the 2011 Arab Spring revolution and beyond, exploring bottom-up activism (hirak) and revolution (thawrah). The six protestscapes presented in the volume (unions, student activists, the phosphate uprising, the 2010-11 revolution, Kamour, and football ultras) offer a novel way of examining partial 'moving snapshots' that are crucial to understanding revolution. They counter the prevailing narrative of revolution as leaderless, a spontaneous surprise with no historical pedigree or inherited learning, and depict instead an active citizenry whose collective memories are stamped by trials of anti-colonial and anti-dictatorial rebellion.
