Jonathan Harris has spent years studying the Berbers of ’Tamazgha’ in North Africa and how the diaspora of this region define themselves and their homeland.
He will discuss what this says about the contemporary context of Mediterranean integration, new nationalisms and populisms, and the fear of Islamism in French society.
