Le mouvement étudiant et la question des langues en Algérie (1962-1965) : à propos d’un épisode méconnu de l’histoire de l’UGEMA-UNEA by Yassine Temlali

“…It looks more generally at the positions of this movement on the linguistic problem in Algeria in a context in which the promotion of the “national language”, Arabic, had to reckon with the first questioning of the Arabo-Islamic unanimity imposed by the need for unity against the French occupier.I suggest that the burial of these proposals in favour of Berber languages should be interpreted in the light of the cultural doctrine of the Algerian Communist Party (PCA), then dominant within the framework of the UGEMA, and its general attitude towards the “socialist” regime of Ahmed Ben Bella. …”

A Y-chromosome portrait of the population of Jerba (Tunisia) to elucidate its complex demographic history by Franz Manni, Pascal Leonardi, Étienne Patin, Alain Berrebi, Houssein Khodjet el Khil, Karl Skorecki, Dror Rosengarten, Hassan Rouba, Evelyne Heyer, Marc Fellous

“…This datum implies a low level of gene flow between the different communities that reside in Jerba, with the exception of Arabs and Berbers. Since geographic isolation plays no role, the different allelic profiles of the three ethnic groups are related to their different geographic origins, which are likely to have been maintained by the cultural differences existing between Arabs, Berbers and Jews.By comparing the observed haplogroup profiles with 19 reference populations located around the Mediterranean basin, we confirm a North African origin for the Berber and Arab sample and a Middle Eastern ancestral population for Jerban Jews.…”
