Ethnic Berber Africa
Pre Arab Races of Mid-East? How Many Left?
As an ethnic Assyrian, i am of a pre arab,Aramaic speaking, pre muslim people, descending from a hybrid of the Ancient Assyrians & Babylonians mixed with Arameans. I know of other pre arab peoples still extant in the mid east/N Africa such as Mandeans,Berbers Jews etc. And many arabic speaking Christians in the middle east are not ETHNICALLY arabs, such as Egyptian Copts(ancient Egyptian origins), Lebanese Maronites(Phoenician/Canaanite origin), and Syriac Christians(Aramaic origins) from Syria, all who existed in the area before the arabs came from Saudi Arabia in 7th Century AD. Know of any others still around? Remember Arabs are not “native” to places like Iraq, Egypt, Syria & Lebanon, a few had moved there as immigrant minorities before Islam, but the vast majority moved in much later from around 630AD.
Interesting:
Europeans were not native from Americas and Australia/NZ.
Christians were many centuries later than Persians, Hititas, Assirians, Akkadians and many others. …. and then, Australopitecus disputes and Homo disputes for territory. (Classical are Neandertal and Sapiens).
Despite a positivist way of think, World is not static, its dinamic. Most competitive and efficient cultures have natural way to dominate and do better expansion than others; Like Marx said, history repeats itself.
Muslims brought regular government, standard languages, profecient commerce and shared culture during their expansion between 475 and 1.200. (Almost what happened during Gengis Khan (Mongol), Caesares (Rome), Alexandre (Greek), Incas, Xerxes (Persian).
Many cultures still existing but are always damaged, due later influence from all these political empires….. We cannot look to what was lost but what is comming and what we should try to preserve.
“Arabs” as you say went from a fragmented area, with many different peoples and cultures. Culture born in middleeast, near to red sea. Its difficult to deny its rights, once were born at the same place of all other people.
Islam religion during this period of lack of local governments and spread as a natural evolution.
Deny one cultural expansion is deny entire history, specially Europe during later colonization (under skirts of rational way to think).
Answering:
You can find few, but are all moderns. Perhaps some lost culture in Caucaso, Iran or Yemen. All others Chistians are modern, jews are modern, quite different than their roots in Yemen. Aramaic cultures are fragmented and mixed to modern. Turkish also….. I’m affraid there is no ancient culture or pure ethinical people near to great cities, hushy borders or fertile lands.
Attention, because there is no pure race (few exceptions in remote areas), specially in middleeast case.

Managing Ethnic Conflict in Africa by Rothchild, Donald S. Edition ILL, 0 $20.49 Ethnic conflict in Africa is reaching critical levels. Governments are being toppled. National economies are collapsing. And the potential for civil unrest–even violent encounters–throughout the continent threatens to engulf not only Africa, but much of the world.Africa’s salvation depends on the development and implementation of effective institutions of ethnic conflict management. In this book, Donald Rothchild analyzes the successes and failures of attempts at conflict resolution in different African countries and offers comprehensive ideas for successful mediation.To provide a clear picture of the current situation, Rothchild traces Africa’s ethnic unrest back to its beginnings during the period of colonial rule, through the post-independence era, when governments built the institutions of government control and consolidated power; and into its more recent period when it is possible to discern greater democratic governance.Managing Ethnic Conflict in Africa demonstrates how negotiation and mediation can promote conflict resolution and a political environment that fosters economic development. It offers a compelling case for the use of both political incentives (power sharing, elections, and fiscal programs) and a variety of actions (including principles of inclusiveness, coercion, and punishment) to support reconciliation. This carrot and stick approach can be employed by a state to promote increased political bargaining while maintaining stability, and by outside intermediaries to cope with conflict brought on by the breakdown of domestic regimes. |

Berber Culture on the World Stage $19.15 “[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. |

Educations in Ethnic Violence By Langek, Matthew $43.73 In Educations in Ethnic Violence, Matthew Lange explores the effects education has on ethnic violence. Lange contradicts the widely held belief that education promotes peace and tolerance. Rather, Lange finds that education commonly contributes to aggression, especially in environments with ethnic divisions, limited resources and ineffective political institutions. He describes four ways in which organized learning spurs ethnic conflicts. Socialization in school shapes students identities and the normsgoverning intercommunal relations. Education can also increase students frustration and aggression when their expectations are not met. Sometimes, the competitive atmosphere gives students an incentive to participate in violence. Finally, education provides students with superior abilities to mobilize violent ethnic movements. Lange employs a crossnational statistical analysis with case studies of Sri Lanka, Cyprus, the Palestinian territories, India, subSaharan Africa, Canada and Germany Author: Lange, Matthew Subtitle: Identity, Educational Bubbles, and Resource Mobilization Publication Date: 2011/12/31 Number of Pages: 242 Binding Type: Paperback Language: English Depth: 0.50 Width: 6.00 Height: 9.00 |
