	The Kahina, Queen of the Berbers (January 2004 - Issue #85)
		Good's Kahina led a coalition of tribes against the Romans in (apparently) the 1st Century C.E. In history, the Kahina, who may have been Jewish, led a coalition of Berber tribes against the Arabs in the late 7th Century.
		Julien believes that the Kahina's resistance to the Arabs was "nurtured, as it seems, by Berber patriotism and Jewish faith." On the other hand, the Encyclopedia Judaica concludes "her opposition to the Muslim Arabs was not religiously inspired; some authorities deny she was Jewish.
		Julien believes that for the Kahina, the survival of her family and its supremacy over her tribe were ultimately more important than any questions of nationalism or religion.

	al_Kahina
		I hope to compile the most complete resource in English on the Web for information about the seventh-century Jewish Berber warrior queen, Dihya al-Kahina.
		Dihya is also called Dahia, Damia, and Diah, and Kahina is frequently spelled Kahena or Cahena, or altered to A-Cahina, so if you're searching for any of those names, you have come to the right place!
		I base the spelling I use on a combination of contemporary Amazigh convention and common use in English, it is not necessarily the 'correct' way to romanize al-Kahina's name.

	THE LEGEND OF THE KAHINA, A NORTH AFRICAN HEROINE « All history as reconstruction of the past is of course myth
		The author traces all accounts of the Kahina, from the first narratives of Arab historians, written 150 years after the event, to medieval, colonial, and postcolonial historical, literary, and oral (folk) representations.
		The Kahina’s identity cannot be known, the author explains, so it is possible that she was Berber, Arab, Byzantine, Roman, Jewish, Christian, or pagan.
		While he mentions feminist representations of the Kahina as a powerful, militant, female leader in a precolonial Berber society in which women could at times become equal to or exceed men, these are not analyzed in detail and do not appear to present any new insights.

	Kahina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		566 - 693, Classical Arabic for "female seer or priest"), modern Darija l-Kahna (commonly romanised as Kah(i)na), also known as Dihya or Kahya, was a female Berber religious and military leader of the late 7th century who led indigenous resistance to the Arabisation and Islamisation of the Maghreb (Northwest Africa).
		In later times, her legend was used to bolster the claims of Berbers in al-Andalūs against Arab claims of ethnic supremacy; in the early modern age, she was used by Europeans, Berbers and Arabs alike for their own didactic purposes.

	Berberism: An Historical Travesty in Algeria's.. (by Aicha Lemsine) - Media Monitors Network
		Before the final battle, when the Kahina, facing defeat, committed suicide by throwing herself into a well (known today as "Bir al-Attar," or the "Well of Perfume"), she sent her sons into the camp of the Muslim commander, Hassan Ibn Nu'man. After the battle, Hassan made the eldest son governor of the Aures.
		The episode of the Kahina was seized upon by the French and Berber separatists alike to portray antagonism between the "Romano-Christian" Berbers and the Arab Muslims.
		In doing so, the separatists are repeating Berber history—not the glorious past of Jugurtha or the Kahina, but the dismal example of Juba I and Juba II, the "slave princes of the Romans" who dispersed their people and tribes into tiny villages in an inhospitable and fractured country.

		One of the most famous of ancient legendary figures among the Amazigh is Dehia, called the Kahina (seer, priestess), a label said to have originated with the Arabs, against whom she led her army.
		However, this is not proven and is disputed among scholars, though the very label of Kahina seems to give credence to this particular story.

	Heinemann Books: Colonial Histories, Postcolonial Memories
		The fascinating figure of the Kahina is explored to wonderful effect in this study, her role in the colonial history of North Africa finally having been given the original consideration it so richly deserves.
		But the Kahina story has also provided the ideological justification for incursions into North Africa by various groups who used the legend to articulate the region as Arab, sometimes French, sometimes Berber, and sometimes Jewish.
		In the tradition of Edward Said's Orientalism, Abdelmajid Hannoum's study of the Kahina myth is a vibrant account of the spread of Islam, Arab, and French colonialism in the North African region.

	The Head Heeb: The Kahina, with illustrations
		Inspired from a historical Berber character, Queen Dihya, who had frightened 7th century Arab invaders into calling her "Kahina" (the witch), the young queen calls her friend the jinn for help as a terrible storm threatens her peaceful kingdom.
		The stories of the Kahina are somewhat like the tales of King Arthur or the medieval legends of Charlemagne, conflating one or more historical figures into a legendary hero with magic powers.
		The historical Queen Dahiya was most likely a tribal ruler, but Berber and Arab legends, many of which were collected by Ibn Khaldun, turned her into a sorceress who defied the enemies of her kingdom during a century-long reign.

	Colonial Histories, Post-colonial memories: The Legend of the Kahina, a North African Heroine « All history as ...
		By and by the Kahina is a North African Jewish woman or man (104), a nationalist anti-colonial heroine (113, 119, 130), a communist ideal (170), a present-day Algerian feminist model (147), and the symbol of the Amazigh fight for the rights of Berber minorities (139).
		For example, the element of the Kahina adopting the hero by giving him her breast is not only a general Mediterranean folkloric theme (13), but a specific qualification of the teryel, the ogress, representing female negativity in Kabyle Berber oral narratives.
		The Kahina becomes “a symbol of the encounter and the clash between civilizations” (52) and—as the author writes—once again demonstrates the force of the never-ending process of narrative re-invention.
