The Ait Ndhir of Morocco: A Study of the Social Transformation of a Berber Tribe

Amal Rassam Vinogradov 1974
Restricted You do not have access to this book. How to get access.
This work is an enquiry into the nature of tribalism in Morocco and its historical relationship to the central government. Employing the Air Ndhir as an example, this study attempts to establish a model for the traditional sociopolitical organization of a semi-nomadic Berber tribe of the Middle Atlas and examine the dynamics of the makhzan-tribal symbiosis during the latter half of the 19th century.
