The paper also aims to demonstrate how Orientalism characterizes Bowles's translations in its two main definitions both as a reductionist form of representation and as a form of knowledge/ Power. Accordingly, aim of this paper is to reveal the motivations behind Bowles's reductionist approach in his representation of Morocco through his translations of Moroccan oral tradition. In his translation and writings about Morocco, Paul Bowles concentrated on two main features of the culture, mainly the popular and the oral.
When Paul Bowles settled in the International zone of Tangier after WWII, he took up a project of translating a group of young and poor uneducated oral storytellers from Tangier (Mohammed Mrabet, Larbi Layachi, Ahmed Yacoubi, and Abdesslam Boulaich).
