Self-Fashioning

I have always thought of my blogs primarily as a means of self-fashioning and self-expression. To the extent that they also serve to communicate, I am pleased, but I have few illusions about my place in the blogosphere. What has been gratifying in recent months, as I have tried to focus more on my blog about Morocco, is the gradual discovery of other sites about Morocco, including an increasing number of sites in English. Attempting the quixotic (presumptuous?) task of trying to write about Morocco from the eastern United States has required me to read and learn more about the country than I would ever have done otherwise.
