Abstract
In this essay I shall consider a number of approaches to the analysis of pre-capitalist social formations in the Maghreb, with the objective of preparing the ground for a later more comprehensive study of imperialism and underdevelopment in Morocco. My own approach, which underlies the essay as a whole, derives from a Marxist problematic or theoretical perspective.
