The volume is well structured and written, and makes enjoyable reading. As Bejitt himself asserts in his Preface: 'Read collectively, these texts offer a genuine glimpse into the colonial scene and the interplay of forces which governed the English presence in Tangier.' - Rickie Lette, The University of Tasmania
