The Way to the City, the second part of Ahmed Toufiq's autobiography, follows his journey from a traditional Amazigh village on the slopes of the Atlas Mountains to the bustling city of Marrakesh in 1955, a pivotal time in Morocco's history with the return of the Sultan from exile. As he navigates his teenage years, Toufiq experiences profound cultural shifts, including the increasing public role of women, the rise of co-education, and the impact of Western influences, all while adjusting to life in a modernizing society.
