The development of the Moroccan short story written in Arabic from its birth in the early 1940s to its recent state in the late 1990s is charted out. For a comprehensive survey, attention is given both to the socio-cultural background in which the genre first saw the light and developed as well as to the major narrative techniques this literary category has experimented with in the last fifty years.
