| Scope and content |
This collection of 11 documents covers a wide variety of cultural, historical and ecological information about the Berbers of Morocco, circa 1890-1992. Most of the collection focus on the Berbers in central Rif, Imazighen and Ishilhayen. The basic sources to consult are the works of anthropologist David Hart, who lived among the Aith Wariyaghar in central Rif in 1953-1954, and Emilio Blanco Izaga, a Spanish official who administered Rif from 1914 to 1934. Together, these documents provide a comprehensive overview of Rifian culture and society at time when the Berbers were affected by Franco-Spanish colonial conquest. Topics discussed include Rifian agriculture, property relations, political structure, warfare and inter-clan relations, religious life, and resistance and socioeconomic changes. The oldest document in the collection was compiled by Westermarck, a European ethnologist who conducted fieldwork in different parts of Morocco in 1896-1926. Topics covered include annual ceremonies, funeral custom, ethnozoology, ethnobotany, and religious life including beliefs related to luck, sorcery and sacred objects, places and persons. The collection also includes another equally old work, featuring rich information on subsistence and material culture including basic tools and type of dwellings. The remaining documents focus on individual themes; these include arguments relating to social organization and tribal/regional political structure in pre-colonial Rif, the role played by Rifian women during the armed resistance against French and Spanish colonialism in 1920s, a religious pilgrimage made by the Rif to one holy place, and changes in agriculture and local livelihood strategies. |
