Zakya Daoud Explained

Zakya Daoud (real name Jacqueline Loghlam) is a French journalist. She was born in 1937 in Bernay in France. She was naturalized Moroccan and changed her name in 1959.[1]

Loghlam started her career as a journalist in 1958 for the Moroccan radio and then as a correspondent in Morocco for the weekly Jeune Afrique, which asked her to sign her articles with the pseudonym "Zakya Daoud", a borrowed name under which she continued writing.

In 1966, she became chief editor of Lamalif, a Moroccan magazine until it was stopped from publishing by the Moroccan authorities in 1988. From 1989 to 2001, Daoud contributed articles to several French journals including Maghreb-Machrek, Arabies and Le Monde diplomatique. Since that time, she has published several books in the fields of sociology and history.
