Historiographie et légende au Maghreb : la Kâhina ou la production d'une mémoire
Historiography and legends in the Maghreb: the legend of the Kahina and the making of a memory. A. Hannoum.
This paper investigates the making of the legend of the Kahina—the Berber queen who allegedly led the local resistance against the Arab conquest in the late seventh century—from its early manifestations in the late ninth century until the early nineteenth century. By analyzing the early manifestations of the legend, I argue that the legend passed, gradually, from folklore to historiography, from social memory to historical memory. The paper also explains the development of the legend, how it first contained the ideology of the Jihad, and then by the eleventh century, with the integration of North Africa in the larger Islamic community, served to articulate the supposedly Oriental origins of the Maghreb. By the fourteenth century, the legend was complete and in addition to the Eastern origin of the Berber, it has come to articulate the myth of the Berber acceptance of Islam. Moreover, from that time onward, the legend has become a myth of origin explaining how North Africa has been Arabized and Islamized by the cooperation of the Berbers themselves.Hannoum Abdelmajid.
