So much has already been written about the famous or infamous, depending upon one's point of view ‐ Berber Dahir, the decree (Arabic zahir) which was promulgated in 1930 by the French colonial administration in Morocco and made official through the signature, at its foot, of the sultan of that country, that it may at first appear both presumptuous and tiresome on our part to add more fuel to the flames of this cause célèbre, especially as the edict itself was rescinded as soon as Morocco became an independent nation‐state in 1956. But we feel justified in writing this article because very recently (1996) the ordinance in question and its contents have once again come to the fore, in the form of a provocative and revisionist article by a Berber cultural autonomist (we hesitate to use the term 'nationalist') in a Moroccan weekly review devoted to Berber cultural affairs and published in Rabat
