Kabyle nationalism
Kabyle nationalism[1] (or Kabylism), is a political, cultural and identitarian movement for the recognition of the national aspirations of Kabylia and the empowerment of the Kabyle People in Kabylia. Its political corollary is Kabyle independence, with the goal of creating a Kabyle sovereign independent nation-state with Kabyle as the only official language. Kabyle nationalism differs from Berberism by affirming the Kabyle specific identity and its primacy over all others, including in all Berber-speaking territory. Kabylism belongs to the family of nationalisms called "liberation", along with Catalan or Basque nationalism. Its antithesis is Algerian nationalism.
Kabyle nationalist parties include the MAK, which supports self-determination for Kabylia, or argue that the Kabyles constitute a people of their own and distinct from other Algerians. The Kabylian nationalists defend the Kabyle identity, territory, culture, language and history.
History
Kabyle Nationalism rose in the 18th century thanks to the Rahmaniyya, who was considered a defender of Kabylism.[2]
