Amazigh Politics in the Wake of the Arab Spring
2022
Overview
On television, the Arab Spring took place in Cairo, Tunis, and
the city-states of the Persian Gulf. Yet the drama of 2010, and the
decade of subsequent activism, extended beyond the cities-indeed,
beyond Arabs. Bruce Maddy-Weitzman brings to light the sustained
post-Arab Spring political movement of North Africa's Amazigh
people.
The Amazigh movement did not begin with the Arab Spring, but it
has changed significantly since then. Amazigh Politics in the
Wake of the Arab Spring details the increasingly material
goals of Amazigh activism, as protest has shifted from the arena of
ethnocultural recognition to that of legal and socioeconomic
equality. Amazigh communities responded to the struggles for
freedom around them by pressing territorial and constitutional
claims while rejecting official discrimination and neglect. Arab
activists, steeped in postcolonial nationalism and protective of
their hegemonic position, largely refused their support, yet
flailing regimes were forced to respond to sharpening Amazigh
demands or else jeopardize their threadbare legitimacy. Today the
Amazigh question looms larger than ever, as North African
governments find they can no longer ignore the movement's
interests.
