Innocents Abroad in Tangier

This book is the product of a course at the University of New England campus in Tangier, Morocco. Through blogs, essays, short stories, and photographs the students whose works are featured in this ebook explore the art of roving literary journalism and storytelling. Along with their keven observation, by gathering notes in their research and using techniques of fiction — character, scenes, dialogue, structure, the use of the “I” — to craft impressions and travelogues they prove what Mark Twait wrote in Innocents Abroad: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
