Poetry was a tributary of the religious and social resistance to French colonialism in the Kabylie region during the 19th century

Abstract

This contribution is part of the studies on the role of the immaterial heritage in resisting the French colonialism in the Kabylie region during the 19th century, as it tried to shed light on the Algerian reaction in general and Kabylie in particular in its cultural resistance and its steadfastness in front of the colonial military arsenal, and its multiple methods of eradicating the features of this population's presence in terms of language and religion, And even his customs and traditions through Amazigh-speaking poetry.

    Poetry is thus a tributary of historical writing, and an important source for it to shed light on the social and cultural conditions and the suffering of society under the ravages of colonialism that their reports do not mention. What symbolizes his culture?

Key words: Poetry, Kabylie, cultural resistance, social resistance
