Time TBD, George Washington University - near Foggy Bottom Metro Station
الجمعة 19 مارس2010 ندوة حول الأمازيغية ثم عرض فيلم أمازيغي
For many years, the Moroccan Amazigh community struggled for official recognition. Recently, a series of events, including an intense grassroots campaign by activists and several historic government decisions, have resulted in the “coming of age” of the Imazighen question. These developments, such as the establishment of the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, sweeping educational reforms, and the issuance of the Amazigh Manifesto, have had significant linguistic, artistic, and socio-political implications. In this event, Washington Moroccan Club, the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, and George Washington University have partnered to present a series of panels exploring these different aspects. Experts in Amazigh language and culture will shed light on the Imazighen question as it matures in this second decade of the 21st century.
