| Summary: | The beginning of the XXIst century in Algeria is marked by an original and ambitious protest: the Âarch. Born in Kabylia and striving for national representation, the movement aims at publicly denouncing the evils that plague Algerian society, directly implicating state representatives. By-passing political channels and adopting the traditional forms of representation inherent in Berber social traditions, the Aarch movement proposes a mobilisation and protest dynamic unique in the history of the Maghreb. The movement’s geographic base and politics of identity, focused as they are on the Berber language and the strategy of "decay" used by the Algerian State, quickly limit the movement to a rhetoric of ethnicity and social protest. |
