| dc.description.abstract | This research paper aims at analyzing Peter Mayne’s A Year in Marrakesh. The purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate stereotype issue in North Africa. To treat this subject, we have opted for the theory of David Joe Schneider’s The Psychology of Stereotyping (2005). Our dissertation aims to show how Morocco as a North African country is stereotyped by the Westerners. The first chapter dealt with accurate and inaccurate stereotypes, where we found that stereotypical beliefs can be real perceived thoughts, we have also deduced that stereotypes are false thoughts about the Other. The second chapter is devoted to the study of David Schneider’s principles in relation to Peter Mayne’s novel namely categorization, schemas, implicit personality, in-groups and out-groups, prejudice, discrimination and generalization. In this part, we have focused on Peter Mayne’s stereotypical representation of the Moroccan social life. We concluded that, Peter Mayne’s novel A Year in Marrakesh is a vivid picture of the way North Africa is stereotyped by the other ‘westerners’. | |
