التشكيلات الاجتماعية بسجلماسة من التأسيس إلى الخراب : مساهمة في رصد جوانب من الديموغرافية التاريخية خلال العصر الوسيط

Abstract EN

Human elements have inhabited the countries of the Maghreb since ancient times– coming from the East.

Migrant people merged with the locales.

Addressing the city of Sijilmasa, in particular, from the historically demographic perspective, which has dealt with the demographic elements in Sijilmasa community, has required conducting a survey of sources, searching the few historical texts that helped us, to some extent, overcoming difficulties and obstacles.

The lack of references in historical sources made us use books of travels, geography and others, as well as studies that dealt with some issues related to the elements of the region's population.

Through this, it has been shown that the southeast region, like the rest of the Moroccan regions, has embraced Berber, Zenit, Sanhaj and Samoudian elements, and received reasonable Arab migrations, as well as the class of Jews, African Sudanese and Haratine.

This created an ethnic social mosaic that interacted with each other during the existence of the city of Sijilmasa and even after its ruin.

These human elements would spread in palaces and then continue in their roles even if the leadership, importance and authority were transferred from one population component to another according to the strength and weakness of tribalism
