Summary of the Journal’s Contents
The second issue of Amzroy Nagh Our History magazine represents a valuable academic contribution in the field of historical and geographical studies. It comes in response to the growing need for a renewed reading of the history of Libya and North Africa, using modern scientific approaches grounded in local sources and contemporary research methods . The magazine serves as a scholarly platform that brings together multiple disciplines such as history, geography, linguistics, and anthropology, offering readers a comprehensive and multidimensional understanding of the past.
This issue includes a collection of in-depth studies addressing important historical and linguistic topics. Among them is an analysis of the origins of place names such as “Cyrene” and “Barqa,” tracing their development from Amazigh roots through Greek and Roman influences to later Arabic adaptations . The articles also explore various theories behind these names, reflecting the interaction of civilizations and the blending of cultural identities in the region .
The issue also highlights aspects of resistance history through a critical reading of Greek and Latin inscriptions, which reveal evidence of long-standing Amazigh resistance against Roman occupation, despite attempts to obscure it in classical sources . In doing so, this issue contributes to rewriting history from a local perspective, restoring the Amazigh voice and emphasizing its role in shaping the region’s history and identity.
