Serhane has been a vociferous critic of the regime of Hassan II and has denounced the violent and oppressive nature of the government at that time in novels like Mesouda and Le Soleil des obscurs. He has taken position against the impunity of those who have enriched themselves thanks to the corruption of the Moroccan political system. In 1993 he received the Prix français du monde arabe, and in 1999 the Prix Francophonie, Afrique méditerranéenne.
