Berber culture on the world stage : from village to video
2005
Overview
[S]ure to interest a number of different audiences, from language
and music scholars to specialists on North Africa... a superb book, clearly
written, analytically incisive, about very important issues that have not been
described elsewhere. -- John Bowen, Washington University In
this nuanced study of the performance of cultural identity, Jane E. Goodman travels
from contemporary Kabyle Berber communities in Algeria and France to the colonial
archives, identifying the products, performances, and media through which Berber
identity has developed. In the 1990s, with a major Islamist insurgency underway in
Algeria, Berber cultural associations created performance forms that challenged
Islamist premises while critiquing their own village practices. Goodman describes
the phenomenon of new Kabyle song, a form of world music that transformed village
songs for global audiences. She follows new songs as they move from their producers
to the copyright agency to the Parisian stage, highlighting the networks of
circulation and exchange through which Berbers have achieved global
visibility.
