Orphans of Islam portrays the abject lives and 'excluded body' of abandoned and bastard children in contemporary Morocco, while critiquing the concept and practice of 'adoption, ' which too often is considered a panacea. Through a close and historically grounded reading of legal, social, and cultural mechanisms of one predominantly Islamic country, Jamila Bargach shows how 'the surplus bastard body' is created by mainstream society.

Jamila Bargach received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Rice University. Currently she resides in Morocco where she is assistant professor of social sciences at the National School of Architecture.
