Description
Summary:	In this work exploring the Kayble people of Algeria and their educational journeys, Si Belkacem Taieb explores an epistemological and ontological framework for Kayble education. He does so by undertaking a narrative inquiry, an auto-ethnographic journey, in which the journey of one's self and the journey of one's people are inextricably intertwined. In a postcolonial cultural journey in an indigenous, North African Kayble landscape and the development of an Amazigh educational philosophy, Taieb writes the sociological foundations of an Amazigh educational system: one that removes Amazigh education from its colonial heritage and restores it to the people who create and use it.
