- (Disappearing World series) Explores the personal dimensions of Islam during three events in Morocco--all seen through the eyes of one woman, Aisha bint Muhammad. The events are 1) the annual renewal of contact with a spirit through a ritual festival of celebration in the city of Marakech; 2) the pilgrimage to the moussem or festival of a powerful saint, whose shrine lies in the mountains of the High Atlas; and 3) the veneration of a new saint's shrine in a small plains village.
