Abstract
In this introduction, we chart the intellectual journey of Susan Gilson Miller and discuss her scholarly contributions to the field of North African Studies, Moroccan historiography and Moroccan Jewish history. We note Miller’s long commitment to foregrounding Maghribi voices, including female and minority accounts. Miller’s work on the Jewish communities of Morocco in particular has skillfully shown the complex position of these communities across time and space. Using Arabic sources, as well as French and Spanish pre-colonial and colonial archives, Miller also deployed the analysis of urban space to document and write communal histories. These local threads of Miller’s work interweave with larger historical concerns to create a unique global approach to her historical subjects.
