Nicolò PiniGUEST
Just pass me the word.
Nicolò PiniGUEST
But with this deportation, which are mentioned in historical sources undertaken by Friedrich II, there are evidences of de-Arabization, also in names, for instance, of places and of people.
Nicolò PiniGUEST
And there is a clear break in the material culture too.
Nicolò PiniGUEST
This is in a way reflected also possibly in sites like Caltavuturo, which I said do not show any architectural standing remain, clearly dateable to the Islamic period.
speaker_1GUEST
There were migrants from the Mediterranean and the Near East.
speaker_1GUEST
And beginning in the 7th century, the Arab conquest of North Africa and things like Arabization and the Arab slave trade dramatically transformed North Africa.
speaker_1GUEST
Arabic spread, Islam spread, and people migrated and intermarried.
speaker_1GUEST
But Arabization is not the same thing as complete population replacement.
speaker_1GUEST
Language and religion can change But that doesn't mean the indigenous populations who were already living there just magically disappeared.
speaker_1GUEST
And Sudan is one of the clearest examples of how these categories get so messy.
Joshua HoffmanHOST
Arabs originated in the Arabian Peninsula, and Arab identity subsequently spread far beyond it.
Joshua HoffmanHOST
The Arab Muslim conquests of the seventh century brought the region under new rule, followed by centuries of Arabization and Islamization.
Joshua HoffmanHOST
Some Arabs migrated into the region, while many existing inhabitants adopted Arabic language and culture or converted to Islam.
Joshua HoffmanHOST
Modern Palestinian Arabs consequently have varied ancestry.
Sarah OreckGUEST
Jews,
Rebecca SananèsHOST
Palestinians, Druids, like there are so many complicated ethnic wars and, you know, colonial Arabization is a colonial movement.
Rebecca SananèsHOST
The Ottoman Empire was a colonial movement.
Rebecca SananèsHOST
The Roman Empire was like there are so many things that touch this place that have fucked this place up.
Gary ArndtHOST
Algeria's first president was FLN leader Ahmed Ben Bella, but his time in office was short as he was overthrown in a June 1965 military coup led by Houari Boumediene.
Gary ArndtHOST
Over time, Algeria started to liberalize and promote Arabization, while also relying more on oil and gas exports.
Gary ArndtHOST
But an economic recession in the 1980s caused social unrest and led to the formation of new political parties.
Gary ArndtHOST
In 1991, the Islamic Salvation Front, or FIS, saw electoral success.
CliffGUEST
And so the government in the North put no resources, they didn't build roads, they didn't develop the South, they kept it poor, but they constantly were trying to conquer it and impose Islam.
CliffGUEST
And so you have a unique thing in Sudan because I mentioned the genocide in Darfur with the genocide from its own government The Muslims in the black African tribes of Darfur were so strong in their belief in Islam, just deeply, deeply committed to Islam, but rejected Arabization.
CliffGUEST
The genocide in the Nuba Mountains, the same thing, fervent in their belief in Islam, but they rejected Arabization.
CliffGUEST
And of course, anyone who knows Islam is that God speaks Arabic.
JoshHOST
Yeah, it's the holy language.
CliffGUEST
And you look across North Africa and all those cultures were lost and Arabized.
CliffGUEST
And so the 22-year civil war was over Arabization.
CliffGUEST
And in the South, they had a Christian influence.
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
So remember we talked earlier about how, um, some of the motivations of sound change could be, um, the dynamic, the power dynamic, where the language of power and prestige is influencing all of the other languages.
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
And so, uh, back in the day in Andalusia, there was a very, very heavy Arabization of that population.
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
Arabic was a prestigious language.
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
It was a dominant language politically, socially, and culturally.
10 MINS LATER
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
Um, there was the opposite effect where the people said, "No, we would like to maintain our Amazigh traditions.
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
We care about our language." And in the post-colonial period, they, they...
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
there was a push to, um, uh, resist Arabization, and it resulted with Kabyle being recognized as a national language.
Ahmad HamzaGUEST
And so the social orientation wasn't towards Arabic, it was towards Kabyle and Amazigh languages, even though the power structure was Arab- uh, pushing for Arabization.
speaker_1HOST
Unpack that a bit.
speaker_2HOST
So they are what is known as the Mista Arvim, which roughly translates to those who live among Arabs or Arabized.
speaker_1HOST
Got it.
speaker_2HOST
So in this military context, these are undercover operatives whose entire operational doctrine relies on completely assimilating into Palestinian communities.
AdelHOST
Mm.
TurksHOST
Because what is the official Arabization of the word sandwich is Shatir or Shatira or something like that.
TurksHOST
Shatir Speak Homa.
TurksHOST
And they dec- decided that's Shatira.
Abraham HamraGUEST
So to look at the one Jewish state that was created in the Jewish homeland that artifacts are currently being taken out of the ground that proves our relation and our kingdom that existed in this land.
Abraham HamraGUEST
To have an objection to that and say, hey, further divide that to compensate half of the Muslim population while not demanding the same of the Arabized countries, that's the issue.
AliHOST
All right.
AliHOST
So what you're saying.
20 MINS LATER
Abraham HamraGUEST
But you're missing a point.
Abraham HamraGUEST
Zionism for us is finally having our own agency.
Abraham HamraGUEST
You agreed with me previously that Jews existed in these lands, throughout these lands, these Arabized lands, way before the Islamic colonization of this land and the Arabic colonization of this land, because that's exactly what happened.
Abraham HamraGUEST
We existed there, and we were subjected, us and Christians, as dhimmis.
