"Lila Abu-Lughod writes, in her introduction to writing womens worlds, about the need to "write against culture," and promises to yse the stories she heard during her stay with the Awlad 'Ali bedouin to do just that. Your task is to write and essay of no more than 1,000 words comparing and contrasting the way Abu- Lughod uses personal stories with the way David McMurray does in his book, in and out of morocco. What do they do with these stories? How do they link them to broader processes or events or theoretical concerns? Does McMurray"write against culture"? Does Abu-Lughod herself?"
