I finally got to touch my book!!!! I can’t believe that it finally materialized with a masterpiece of a cover and wonderful endorsements from several esteemed colleagues who work in different disciplines!

Happy US Indigenous Peoples’ Day!! We, Amazigh people, have to remember that we belong to a larger humanity of Indigenous people across the globe. Their struggles have allowed our identity to be reborn, after decades of willful de-Amazighization.

The first translations in the Amazigh Studies series published by Georgetown University Press! These stunning covers highlight our visual identity! Send us your proposals! If you are coming to MESA, stop by our booth at the book fair. We’ll have swags and literature to share!

The ISESCO report in 2016 reveals that the problems in education systems and the limited success of literacy projects in SWATA (Southwest Asia and Tamazgha) are attributable to the failure to take into account people’s mother tongues as target languages for literacy and instruction.
