The ISESCO report in 2016 reveals that the problems in education systems and the limited success of literacy projects in SWATA (Southwest Asia and Tamazgha) are attributable to the failure to take into account people’s mother tongues as target languages for literacy and instruction.

Amazigh Literature in Translation! Many thanks @wwborders.bsky.social

Words Without Borders & WWB Campus @wwborders.bsky.social · Nov 19

Today, WWB launches a new collection of indigenous Amazigh writing in North Africa and beyond, beginning with an introduction by Brahim El Guabli. Click to read El Guabli’s rigorous examination of the history—and the possible future—for Amazigh lit. https://buff.ly/4fy1s7h

A photo of a town built into a mountainside and the text “'Translation and Rehabilitation: An Introduction to Indigenous Amazigh Literary Output' by Brahim El Guabli” with the quote “As the experience of Amazigh literature demonstrates, translation can play a restorative role in the field of Indigenous languages.”

The text “'Translation and Rehabilitation: An Introduction to Indigenous Amazigh Literary Output' by Brahim El Guabli” with the quote ““It would seem contradictory to see a savior in translation, which is also shaped by the very forces of capitalism and cultural hegemonies it perpetuates, but the truth is that translation can prompt local speakers of a language to return to it when they see that it has gained value in other languages.”
