Berberism

Berberism, also known as the Berber Cultural Movement, is a Berber cultural and political movement advocating for the recognition of Berber (Amazigh) identity, languages, and cultural rights in North Africa. It emerged in Algeria and Morocco in the face of state-led Arabization, pan-Arabism, and discrimination against Berber communities. While focused on cultural and linguistic rights, some Berberist movements (e.g. MAK), particularly among the diaspora, also advocate for separatism.

Opposition to Berberism has sometimes drawn on Anti-Berber rhetoric, stemming from , including tropes that the Berber identity was a French colonial invention. Scholars have also noted racialized tropes portraying Berbers as "sons of the White Fathers."
