France’s history is on a street sign in Fes!
One can almost claim that for Moroccans,it is not necessary to read a book about the
major events in French history,because the history of France can be read just by following
the street names in Fes,the oldest city in Morocco.
Being colonized by the French for more than forty years,the architecture of the Ville
Nouvelle of Fes as well as the remnants of some of the street names is an extension of
France and its historical past.
Using four maps of the city of Fes (1933,1953,1979 and 1986) I classified all street
names of the Ville Nouvelle thematically,such as street names evoking French/European
culture and street names referring to Arabic culture.
The results show that the maps of 1933 and 1953 show a preponderance of street
names referring to European/French culture.We can even observe France’s determination
to build a European Union:Names such as Rue d’Italie and Rue d’Espagne can be found.
On the map of 1933,the heroes of the French army were recognized.For example,
one can find the Rue du Colonel de Castrie (1727-1801) who successfully fought the
Prussian army in 1759.However,the map of 1953 shows the opposite focus:the image of
the army is perceived as less prestigious.This perception is connected with the intellectual
movement headed by Jean-Paul Sartre in favor of peace and decolonization.
In contrast with the maps of 1933 and 1953,the map of 1979 shows that French
culture and history have a weaker presence in the toponomia of Fes.Street names in Arabic
are present more and more due to Arabization,a language policy that promoted Arabic
culture.The reappropriation of space by Moroccans is reflected by the changes in the street
names of Fes.
