Language as a Bridge to the Soul: The Role of the Urban, Multilingual, Literate Amazigh Woman and Tarifit in Preserving Amazigh Ethnic Identity in the Rif
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to begin investigating how Amazigh ethnic identity is currently being preserved in Morocco, specifically through urban, multilingual, literate Amazigh women and Amazigh language, specifically Tarifit. There has been much research in the past several decades on rural, monolingual Amazigh women. Much of current research agrees that Amazigh women have played an invaluable role in preserving Amazigh language and identity through a multitude of means such as art, teaching their children Tamazight, and oral storytelling (Belahsen et al., 2017; Gagliardi, 2020; Hoffman, 2006; Laghssais, 2021, Sadiqi, 2007). While there is increasing information on the preservation practicies of rural, monolingual, illiterate Amazigh women, there seems to be a gap in current literature on how urban, multilingual, literate Amazigh women might currently be preserving Amazigh language and culture. There also seems to be a gap in literature on how the inclusion of Tamazight in the 2011 Constitution might change the status of Tamazight as a vehicle of Amazigh ethnic identity. This study will attempt to begin filling in that gap by answering the question “What is the role of urban, multilingual, literate Amazigh women and Tarifit in preserving Amazigh ethnic identity in the Rif?” The findings of this case study tentatively seem to indicate that urban living, multilingualism, and literacy have impacted traditional forms of Amazigh cultural expression, which may in turn impact the role that Amazigh language and Amazigh women play in preserving Amazigh ethnic identity
End of the Patrol: Analysis of the Blimp and its Contributions to the US Navy, 1941-1962
Get PDFFrom 1917 to 1962, the United States Navy was America’s main contributor to the use of lighter-than-air vehicles, from small observational kite-balloons to the massive infamous rigid airships like the ill-fated Shenandoah, Akron, and Macon. Most aviation histories cover the Navy’s rigid airships but ignore the post-rigid era, a period that began after the demise of the Hindenburg. This study serves to examine the Navy’s airship program in the subsequent two time periods: World War II and the post-war era. This study is based upon both qualitative and quantitative sources, most of which come from written accounts and statistics recorded during the subject’s time frame, making the study mostly reliant upon primary sources. Through the examination and analysis of these sources, this study shows that Navy blimps were a valuable contribution to merchant convoy defense during the Battle of the Atlantic, and that blimps’ performance and strengths enabled them to be valuable aircraft to the Navy even in the jet age
