[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Actually, The Patriot is simply regurgitating and defending certain segments of majority scholarship on the subject. Most books on the Moorish period of Spain go to great lengths to create a fake distinction between Berbers as a "race" or ethnic group separate from other Africans, especially black Africans. In this scheme of histrionics, Berbers can be an ethnic group, culture and identity that has nothing to do with most Africans, who are black, almost as if it is a prerequisite for being Berber. With such a foundation of pseudo historical distinctions between Berbers as Africans solely North of the Sahara, then they can present all sorts of other distinctions between the Africans in the Sahara and those to the South, with "negroes" or African blacks always broken out as a separate group and lumped together as one. So it only makes sense that he would defend such histrionics because in the Eurocentric mind they are the only ones qualified to tell history and of course they never lie or distort the truth. So for someone to go outside the frame of distortion and dig for the truth on their own of course represents a threat to the establishment and the distortions it is built on. One good example of this is the Sufi musical brotherhoods of Morocco. Almost all of them are based on a strong black African influence from instruments to styles of playing and most importantly a spiritual or trance element. Such elements are most definitely not part of the Islamic orthodoxy and more often resembles the Creole Gumbo of New Orleans in terms of African Vodun traditions mixed with more classical elements from the U.S. If you look up Moroccan brotherhoods they are all based around the same thing: music and trance as a form of therapy. I don't know what distinguishes them but they are all quite African in my book, especially given that you find such traditions from the tip of Tunisia all the way to South Africa among black African groups. But of the three groups, it is the Gnawa that seems to be most associated with black Africans, even though the rest are as much influenced by Black Africa as the Ghawa, but they all also have Persian and other influences as well. http://thethirdrootmovie.com/blog/?tag=hamadcha-sufi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA727eYcO5E http://www.ronhaleber.nl/trance-b.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3SzAKQq6w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enk5q9Y5bcE&feature=related These traditions seem to be more along the lines of the 'hidden' animist tendencies that have gone underground and are considered black magic or witchcraft by some. In some of these you can here the echoes of the horn marches of New Orleans. [/QB][/QUOTE]
