Abstract:
The Shluh belong to the Masmuda branch of sedentary Berbers inhabiting the Grand-Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains and the plain of the Sous River Valley in southern Morocco. They are divided into a large number of relatively small named groups. The term Shluh refers rather indiscriminately to nearly all speakers of Berber dialects in Morocco. This file consists of six documents, three are translations from the French, and three are in English. Berque and Montagne are the major works in the file supplemented by the more recent data presented in Hatt. Montagne deals with the history and political evolution of the Shluh, dealing in turn with the Sous region, with the political organization of the Berber republics, and with the rise to personal power of individual chiefs. Dupas is a short description of the community storehouses in use among the Shluh. Hoffman contains general information on the structure of traditional society, ecology, and economy. Hatt updates the existing material on the Shluh through 1971, deals with the Idaw Tanan confederation of the Shluh, and contains information on economy, subsistence patterns, social structure, and social relationships
