In any case, the intent is to dispassionately present the main developments of Maghribi history from the mists of time to the end of modern colonialism-political, social, cultural, religious, and legalfrom the angle of the Berber-speaking populations, and their interactions with other social and political groupings and forces. This is not a Berberist reading, per se, although such a reading can hardly be ignored either. The purpose of this chapter and the following one is to give a succinct overview of the history of North Africa from antiquity to independence, with an emphasis on its Berber components, particularly in the territories that constitute modern-day Algeria and Morocco.
