For another anthropological frame
This article presents a anthropological analysis on the Rif of Morocco. Maghrebian and Moroccan anthropologies have remained deeply marked by the main anthropological schools of thought in spite of the recent sociological changes. This article investigates the heritage of Hart and Jamous’s works in the actual research on the maghrebian society. Our empirical study leans on the Ketama tribe, which main economical activity consists in the culture of kif and its derivatives. We offer an analysis of the society of Rif based on the perspective of Ibn Khaldoun in order to develop an alternative approach of the anthropology of Rif and Maghreb.
