Often associated with the ‘rural’, the ‘exotic’ or the ‘folkloric’, Amazigh women’s ancestral art of weaving has not received much attention in Amazigh Studies. Drawing on primary sources, manuscripts, and printed texts, in libraries and archives, this book sheds new light on Amazigh women’s weaving practices, arguing that it was the ancestral rug designs that inspired the Amazigh alphabet Tifinagh. In doing so, the author reveals the active role women played in the process of codifying the Amazigh language. This book is of interest to scholars in Amazigh studies, women’s history, anthropology, and linguistics.
Fatima Sadiqi is professor of linguistics and gender studies in affiliation with the University of Fez and Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
