Description

Explore the deep political roots of the Berber identity movement in North Africa through this historical study. While much focus remains on language and identity, this book examines how Kabyle dissidence is actually rooted in democratic aspirations. These aspirations stem from the unique political traditions found in Kabylia, a mountainous region located in northern Algeria. This work examines the political organization of pre-colonial Kabylia, drawing on descriptions provided by nineteenth-century French ethnographers. It addresses the gaps left by earlier theorists like Ernest Gellner and Pierre Bourdieu, who struggled to fully explain these complex social structures. By looking at the historical governance of the region, readers gain a better understanding of the political foundations that continue to influence the area today. This volume is an essential addition to the Library of Middle East History for students and readers interested in African history and political science.
