    Nisan / The Levantine Review Volume 4 Number 2 (Winter 2015) Identity and Peoples in History Speculating on Ancient Mediterranean Mysteries Mordechai Nisan* We are familiar with a philo-Semitic disposition characterizing a number of communities, including Phoenicians/Lebanese, Kabyles/Berbers, and Ismailis/Druze, raising the question of a historical foundation binding them all together. The ethnic threads began in the Galilee and Mount Lebanon and later conceivably wound themselves back there in the persona of Al-Muwahiddun [Unitarian] Druze. While DNA testing is a fascinating methodology to verify the similarity or identity of a shared gene pool among ostensibly disparate peoples, we will primarily pursue our inquiry using conventional historical materials, without however—at the end—avoiding the clues offered by modern science. Our thesis seeks to substantiate an intuition, a reading of the contours of tales emanating from the eastern Mediterranean basin, the Levantine area, to Africa and Egypt, and returning to Israel and Lebanon. The story unfolds with ancient biblical tribes of Israel in the north of their country mixing with, or becoming Lebanese Phoenicians, travelling to North Africa—Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya in particular— assimilating among Kabyle Berbers, later fusing with Shi’a Ismailis in the Maghreb, who would then migrate to Egypt, and during the Fatimid period evolve as the Druze. The latter would later flee Egypt and return to Lebanon—the place where their (biological) ancestors had once dwelt. The original core group was composed of Hebrews/Jews, toward whom various communities evince affinity and identity today with the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

  • SEPARATE OPINION of JUDGE DE CASTRO 1 Have Voted in Favour of the Advisory Opinion Because It States That There Are No Ties of S
    SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE DE CASTRO [Translation] 1 have voted in favour of the Advisory Opinion because it states that there are no ties of sovereignty between the territory of Western Sahara and the Kingdom of Morocco and the Mauritanian entity, and that the principle of self-determination should be applied to the said territory, thereby giving a correct, clear and conclusive reply to the real questions put to the Court. On the other hand, 1 cannot go along with the Advisory Opinion either in its statement regarding the existence of other legal ties between the territory and the Kingdom of Morocco and the Mauritanian entity, nor in al1 its reasoning. In order to justify my vote, 1feel obliged to set out my separate opinion below. 1. Origins of the Case For the sake of clarity and to avoid repetitions, 1 think it as well to refer to the more important features of the background to the case before the Court. The ultimate origins of resolution 3292 (XXIX) of the United Nations General Assembly can be traced back to the determined activity of a most extraordinary personality, Si Allal El Fassi, to whom must be attributed Morocco's interest in the expansion of its frontiers. It would seem that, around 1956, Moroccans firmly believed that the Sherifian Kingdom did not extend beyond the Wad Dra'a. Government ministers were unaware even of the existence of the southern region of the Spanish Protectorate '. El Fassi, on the other hand, even before Morocco's independence, was advocating the reconstitution of Greater Morocco, by claiming, on the basis of Morocco's historic rights, Mauritania, Rio de Oro, the Sakiet El Hamra, part of Algeria - Tindouf and Colomb-Béchar- and part of Mali.

  • The Pilgrimage Factor in Islamic Revivalism: the West African Experience Since the Beginning of the Eleventh Century A.D
    THE PILGRIMAGE FACTOR IN ISLAMIC REVIVALISM: THE WEST AFRICAN EXPERIENCE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE ELEVENTH CENTURY A.D. By Dr. M. Sey* Abstrak Kertas ini cuba melihat sumbangan ibadat haji terhadap kebangkitan Islam di Afrika, khususnya di Afrika Barat dengan menganalisis kesan ibadat itu terhadap beberapa orang tokoh ulamak. Sampel yang dikaji ialah Tarshna al-Lamtuna, Yahya ibn Ibrahim, Mansa Musa, Askia Muhammad Ture dan Shehu Uthman Dan Fodio. Perbincangan dimulakan dengan menyoroti falsafah haji dan rukun-rukunnya, kemudian melihat sejarah tokoh-tokoh berkenaan terutama sekali sumbangan mereka selepas menunaikan ibadat haji. Kertas ini merumuskan bahawa ibadat haji mempengaruhi bentuk kepimpinan tokoh-tokoh ulamak berkenaan kepada yang lebih dinamik dan inovatif. As a pretext, the paper presents a mixture - a mixture of description and impor tance of the pilgrimage or Hajj in Islam showing the extent to which the pilgrimage experience has influenced the growth and development of the faith through revival ism in this sub-saharan region of ours since the beginning of the eleventh century. Revivalism as used here denotes the act of restoring orthodoxy and thereby bringing new life into an existing order which is fast losing touch with its origin. It may be, to some extent, equated with growth and development of the faith since the result of all the revivalist movement is a qualitative expansion of the faith. The inclusion of a detailed description of the rituals of Hajj is to meet the needs of students who require a ready and handy information about the Hajj and its importance without having to go through several works for the same purpose.

  • Généalogies Et Géographies Tribales
    Grigori Lazarev Sociologue, et Géographe. Association de Recherche Interdisciplinaire Al Idrissi, Rabat Ancien fonctionnaire international (FAO), Rome. [email protected] Généalogies et géographies tribales Résumé : Cet article tire ses matériaux des travaux de G. Lazarev (en cours de publication) sur les « Populations et les territoires du Maghreb, VII°-XI° siècle ». Il propose quelques réflexions sur les rapports entre les généalogies et les géographies tribales pendant la période médiévale. Il fait bien entendu référence à Ibn Khaldûn et à l’approche généalogique de son histoire des groupements ethniques berbères jusqu’au XIV° siècle. L’analyse montre cependant les biais de son approche et son adéquation des généalogies à la succession des phases successives de l’histoire du Maghreb. Une contre-analyse permet de déceler les correspondances qui s’établissent entre les blocs généalogiques et la géographie des tribus du Maghreb. Cette contre-analyse vérifie une intuition tardive d’Ibn Khaldûn, mais que déterminé par le conformisme généalogique de son époque, il n’a pas appliquée dans son ouvrage antérieur, le kitab al ibar1. Mots clé : Maghreb médiéval, tribus berbères, généalogie tribale, géographie tribale au Maghreb Abstract: This paper is based upon works by G. Lazarev (in process of publication) on « Populations and Territories in Maghreb, VII°-XI° centuries ». It offers some thoughts on the relationships between genealogies and tribal geographies in medieval times. Of course, it refers to Ibn Khaldûn and to his genealogical approach of berber ethnic groups until century XIV. An analysis showshowever his approach’many biases due to hissimplified adequation to the successive phases ofMaghreb history. A counter-analysis leads to find straight correspondences between « genealogical blocks » andMaghreb tribal geography.

    MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Washington, DC June 20, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Earnest W. Porta, Jr. All Rights Reserved ii MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Dissertation Advisor: Osama Abi-Mershed, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Over the last several decades, a growing number of historians have conceptualized the Atlantic world as an explanatory analytical framework, useful for studying processes of interaction and exchange. Stretching temporally from the 15th into the 19th century, the Atlantic world framework encompasses more than simply the history of four continents that happen to be geographically situated around what we now recognize as the Atlantic basin. It offers instead a means for examining and understanding the transformative impacts that arose from the interaction of European, African, and American cultures following the European transatlantic voyages of the 15th and 16th centuries. Though it has not been extensively studied from this perspective, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Morocco possessed geopolitical characteristics that uniquely situated it within not only the Islamic world, but the developing Atlantic world as well. This study considers Morocco’s involvement in the early Atlantic world by examining three specific phases of its involvement. The first phase lasts approximately one hundred years and begins with the Portuguese invasion of Ceuta in 1415, considered by some to mark the beginning of European overseas expansion.

    TH E A\ohammadan Dynasties S. Lane- Poole 3.S-. //. the ®Jjeologtr 0{ a/ PRINCETON, N. J Division 3 • Section ... Life THE MOHAMMADAH DYNASTIES THE MOHAMMADAN DYNASTIES CHRONOLOGICAL AND GENEALOGICAL TABLES WITH HISTORICAL INTRODUCTIONS STANLEY LANE - POOLE ©Westminster ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE AND COMPANY PUBLISHERS TO THE INDIA OFFICE 14 PARLIAMENT STREET MDCCCXCiV HERTFORD PRINTED BY STEPHEN AUSTIN AND SON PREFACE The following Tables of Mohammadan Dynasties bare grown naturally out of my twenty years’ work upon the Arabic coins in the British Museum. In preparing the thirteen volumes of the Catalogue of Oriental and Indian Coins I was frequently at a loss for chronological lists. Prinsep’s Useful Tables, edited by Edward Thomas, was the only trustworthy English authority I could refer to, and it was often at fault. I generally found it necessaiy to search for correct names and dates in the Arabic historians, and the lists of dynasties prefixed to the descriptions of their coins in my Catalogue were usually the result of my own researches in many Oriental authorities. It has often been suggested to me that a reprint of these lists would be useful to students, and now that the entire Catalogue is published I have collected the tables and genealogical trees in the present volume. : VI PREFACE The work is, however, much more than a reprint of these tables. I have not only verified the dates and pedigrees by reference to the Arabic sources and added a number of dynasties which were not represented in the Catalogue of Coins, but I have endeavoured to make the lists more intelligible by prefixing to each a brief historical introduction.

  • La Regina Dell'awras
    La regina dell’Awras Le invasioni arabe del Maghreb e la resistenza berbera fino alla fine del VII secolo Premessa La vicenda di Dihya, detta la K āhina (la profetessa, l’indovina, la maga), corrisponde all’ultima grande rivolta di Berberi non musulmani contro gli Arabi e segna quindi un punto di svolta nel processo della conquista araba del Maghreb, ossia del Nord-Africa ad occidente di Tripoli. Fu questo infatti un processo lungo e tormentato, iniziato prima della metà del VII secolo e durato fin quasi alla fine dell’VIII, contrassegnato da una ripetuta alternanza di vittorie e sconfitte, di avanzate vertiginose e di crolli altrettanto subitanei; in questo si differenzia nettamente dalle altre conquiste arabe del VII secolo (e anche da quella della Spagna nell’VIII) che furono tutte rapide e relativamente indolori, in quanto permisero, nell’immediato indomani della fase militare, di instaurare un nuovo e stabile ordinamento; nel Maghreb invece la lunga serie di guerre, durata quasi senza interruzioni circa un secolo e mezzo, fu inevitabilmente molto più distruttiva e corrispose ad un periodo altrettanto lungo di instabilità ed insicurezza da cui il paese potè poi riprendersi solo lentamente. Alla radice di questa lunga durata non fu tanto la difesa bizantina, che non si dimostrò qui molto più efficace che in Siria od in Egitto, quanto l’ostinata resistenza delle tribù berbere, che, al di fuori ma anche all’interno dei territori controllati dai bizantini, costituivano un mondo a sé, relativamente primitivo ma tenacemente attaccato alle
