Full Day Tour to Ourika from Marrakech by Car

Marrakech Trip Overview

Ourika is a story based on the life of a woman who was purchased as a child (in or around 1786) by the Chevalier de Boufflers, the colonial administrator of Senegal, and given as a gift to the de Beauvau family.

The novel marks a critical point in European literature. It is the first French text to depict a black woman character with a complex psychology. It is the first text to create “an articulate and educated black woman narrator,” and “one of the most compelling works of short fiction in French and a startlingly modern commentary on race.”

The novella covers the time before, during, and after the French Revolution and addresses key themes of race, nationality, exile, interracial love and kinship and the psychological adjustment to these. It signifies an important movement from traditional notions of race, nationality, and kinship towards the identity politics of today.
