In Fez, however, where he stayed for several years, he was able to both observe and take part in the political chess games which he later described in his history: rulers becoming figureheads controlled by their ministers, ministers assuming the role of kingmakers, selecting their favorite candidates from members of the dynasty and backing them.

Author of a previous study on Marinid historiography,[21] Shatzmiller has here assembled more of her already published articles on the history and historiography of the Marinid period (thirteenth-fifteenth centuries).
Yet interestingly, the myth of the Arab origin of the Berbers, cultivated by Muslim historians in the east, was not widely adapted or believed by the Berbers themselves, and this failure itself, according to Shatzmiller, demonstrates the slow Arabization and Islamization process of all but a small minority of the population.
