The Sociological History Of Tribal Formation In The Algerian Countryside
Authors : Kenai Makhfi .
Abstract
Abstract: This study explores the tribal and social structure of the Algerian countryside and its historical transformations from the colonial period to the post-independence era. It analyzes the relationship between the tribe and the state, as well as the impact of economic and social changes on rural consciousness. Adopting a historical-sociological approach, the research draws on academic texts and references (including works by Frantz Fanon, MostafaAl-Achraf, Mohamed Essouidi, and Al-Houari Addi) to understand the dynamics of the transition from the traditional tribal system to a modern national society. The study aims to highlight the historical, economic, and political factors that reshaped rural Algeria, demonstrating how the agrarian revolution and rural-to-urban migration contributed to the disintegration of traditional tribal structures. It also examines the effects of these transformations on the family, political awareness, and social relations. The study concludes that Algerian rural society has undergone a gradual shift from tribal loyalty to national belonging; however, patriarchal legacies and economic imbalance continue to shape the course of social modernization.
