Summary

"Lippincott's Magazine of Popular Literature and Science, Volume 20, September, 1877" is a compilation of essays and articles from the late 1800s aimed at a general audience interested in both literature and science. One notable piece, "Among the Kabyles," transports readers to Algeria, revealing the unique culture and traditions of the Kabyle people who, despite foreign invasions and colonization, maintained a distinct identity. It paints a vivid picture of their mountain villages, their self-governance, social customs, and their differences from the cultures surrounding them, while also highlighting the challenges they faced with French colonization and their efforts to protect their heritage. The narrative explores themes of cultural identity and the ability of people to survive within the strong forces of historical change.
