Effects of War in the Islamic Maghreb on Values and Social Representations

There is no doubt that the intensive presence of the war in the structures of the Islamic Maghreb society during the intermediate period shaped social life with a military and military character, and the values that were glorified during this stage of the war had an important role in formulating and refining them in the collective mentality and behavior, manifested in a number of manifestations, customs and behaviors. The contemplator of the available source material does not find it a clear difficulty to determine the extensions of war and its deposits in a society in which the system of civilian life is mixed with military life, whether at the level of ceremonial manifestations, forms of entertainment and play for the man of the stage, or in his daily costume and clothing, or in his veneration of courage and chivalry, revenge and good neighborliness, and in his support of the relative and the atheist and other behaviors and representations that formed one of the material elements in a society that was often absent from peaceful coexistence.
