A BOOK illustrates corporate Maghreb written by one A. Missoum on "colonial ethnologies" whose premise has contributed to the marginalization of the discipline in the aftermath of the independence of our country. Made from a researcher of North African origin who pose a new look at society and Gourara these anthropological concepts Beyond ruptures: the emphasis is treated on the sacred, especially and holiness that anthropologists have contributed classified in a somewhat ambiguous under the label of "cult of saints" then. Without denying it decisive weight of the sacred in the organization of society Gourara. It is true that the sacred is exercised so much more complex and much richer in final.
