Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the Tuareg tribes and their social structure in Algeria, aiming for comprehensive knowledge of these tribes. They are distributed across various Arab and African countries.
The study's problem centers on understanding the social structure of the Tuareg tribe, exploring their social upbringing and cultures. The goal is to gain full cognitive preparation about these marginalized tribes, shedding light on their geographical, natural, social, economic, intellectual, and religious aspects.
It was deemed necessary to highlight the Tuareg tribes and understand the essential geographical, natural, social, economic, intellectual, and religious aspects. This involves delving into the past of these veiled individuals, known as the Tuaregs, who are organized into clans and groups living within social, political, and economic units.
References were made to articles, page reports, as well as some documentary sources documenting the history and social-cultural life of Tuareg tribes in Algeria. The study is divided into three axes: the first axis addresses studies related to social structure in general, the second axis focuses on studies related to social structure in Algeria, and the third axis tackles studies related to the social structure of the Tuareg tribe in Algeria.
