Berber From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Berbers (also called Imazighen , "free men", singular Amazigh ) are an ethnic group indigenous to Northwest Africa , speaking the Berber languages of the Afroasiatic family . There are between 14 and 25 million speakers of Berber languages in North Africa (see population estimation ), principally concentrated in Morocco Western Sahara and Algeria but with smaller communities as far east as Egypt and as far south as Burkina Faso Their languages, the Berber languages , form a branch of the Afroasiatic linguistic family comprising many closely related varieties, including Kabyle Tachelhit , and Central Atlas Tamazight , with a total of roughly 14-25 million speakers. Contents Origin Genetic evidence Archaeological Linguistic ... edit Origin There is no complete certitude about the origin of the Berbers; however, various disciplines shed light on the matter. edit Genetic evidence While population genetics is a young field still full of controversy, in general the genetic evidence appears to indicate that most Northwest Africans (whether they consider themselves Berber or Arab ) are of Berber origin, and that populations ancestral to the Berbers have been in the area since the

Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania Regional Representatives: Hassan ID BELKASSM Amazigh, Morocco Chairperson, North Africa Mohammed IKABARNE Amazigh, Algeria North Africa Samia SLIMANE Amazigh, Algeria Gender Rep., North Africa Regional Review: Morocco has seen tremendous democratic changes since the accession to the throne of His Majesty Mohammed VI. The Amazigh or Berber peoples make up at least half of the population of Morocco, yet for forty years their language and cultural identity were suppressed in favour of an Arab identity. The young King unbanned the Berber language (Tamazight) after years of cultural suppression and human rights violations. A Royal Amazigh Commission has been created which includes long time indigenous rights activists. In 2005, Tamazight enters its second year as a new subject in the curriculum. Tamaynut, the Amazigh cultural network in Morocco has over 30 affiliated community based members. It is the most advanced indigenous civil society network in Africa. Tamaynut has traditionally promoted the Tamazight language and recognition of Amazigh culture. Members have also promoted literacy and small job creation, particularly for women in rural areas. Tamaynut is co-operating with ILO on a study of customary laws and land rights of indigenous peoples. The focus for activists in Morocco is shifting from language and cultural rights to more complex issues of land rights, rural economic development and National Parks.

MYTHING LINKS Kathleen Jenks, Ph.D. GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS THE SAHARA Berber Woman (From the "Libyana" site: see below) http://www.myrine.at/Amazons/libya.html Since Robert Graves and others argue that Medusa and her Gorgon sisters originated in Libya (Neith, one of the earliest Egyptian goddesses, also seems to have come from Libya in ancient times, Libyans and the Delta peoples of Egypt seem to have mingled freely), it isn't surprising that Greece's Amazon mythology might draw from northern Africa as well as Turkey. This engrossing site is on African Amazons, the probable ancestors of contemporary Berber ( Amazigh, or Free People, is their name for themselves) and Tuareg peoples. The site is a little difficult to navigate so just click on all hypertext available (including "cap" on the opening page). There's a page full of Amazons as they were portrayed in ancient Greek art; there's another on Tin Hinan, an ancient Tuareg queen so revered that the gold in her tomb was never looted; there's a page on the Berbers, another on the Tuareg, another on ancient language and art from the Sahara. A trial membership to this group is offered with it you get free downloads of ancient art as well as translated texts concerning the Amazons. http://www.arab.net/libya/culture/la_berbers.html

Unit Four: Regional Perspectives Module 16: North Africa Learning Activity 3 Explain: Politics of North Africa Nation-states of North Africa Map 7: Colonial Territories in 1914 Map 7: Colonial Territories in 1945 When European powers divided the continent between them, they created the borders which are, for the most part agreed upon today (we will see in our discussion of the Western Sahara situation how this colonial division has created problems for current states in the region). The colonists often capitalized on ethnic divisions in the region (especially between Arab and Berber peoples) to take over territories. An excellent history of this is recounted by Gavin Maxwell in Lords of the Atlas The Political Heritage of Colonialism. http://ex.matrix.msu.edu/africa/curriculum/lm10/actthree.html Colonial governments differed in the amount of autonomy they granted indigenous inhabitants, the amount of political opposition they allowed, the involvement of locals in the governance of their country, the ability of elites to gain education in the ruling country, etc. When the North African countries were granted independence (see map below), they tried a variety of governance systems, and these have adapted over time to their diverse populations and situations.

Back to Region Page North Africa Find Music from North Africa in the Afropop Shop Often overlooked in discussions of African music, the countries of northern Africa link the continent to the Mediterranean world, and particularly to the rest of the Arabic-speaking world, which at over 200 million people, makes up one of the largest regions on earth to share a common culture and language. By the time Arabs came into north Africa in the 7th century, the indigenous Berber peoples had had their once pastoral lives transformed by desertification throughout the region. Living in the remote Atlas mountains and in nomadic enclaves, they resisted invaders as best they could, but wound up on the losing end of the region's political struggles. Nevertheless, they remain an important source of today's north African music. (See Berber Music.) The story of north Africa's recording industry begins in Cairo, Egypt, where the Odeon label started up in 1904, producing over 400 titles before World War I. Given Cairo's continuing dominance as a music center, a thumbnail sketch of northern Africa's modern music naturally starts there. In the grand halls of Cairo today, large

The Berber Tamazight Movement in Morocco and Algeria by Amin Kazak, Ph.D. The Berber Role in the Liberation Struggle The Berber Question in Morocco The Berber Question in Algeria The Berber Question in the Maghreb In July 1994, a delegation of Berbers from Morocco presented testimony on their own behalf at the annual meeting of the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Peoples, in Geneva. The presentation indicates that Berbers have identified themselves as "indigenous," fulfilling a major criterion for their identification as such by others. Indigenous peoples are recognized operationally through self-definition (as one of several criteria) by both the International Labor Organization and the World Bank. This article seeks to expand the broader consciousness of the global indigenous movement by supporting the recognition of Berbers and elaborating upon the testimony they provided at the Working Group meeting.1 The Berbers have inhabited North Africa for thousands of years and today live in a vast area extending through the several countries that constitute the "Maghreb" region (the western Mediterranean coast of North Africa): Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.2 Although the details of their origins are uncertain,3 it can be asserted that the Berber people inhabited North Africa thousands of years ago; they were situated where they exist today (through the expanse of the Atlas Mountains) at the time when the first invaders of the region who recorded history came upon them. It is further safe to say, then, that the Berber case corresponds to that of any indigenous nation of the Americas.4
