The existence of ‘Berber’ has a very special meaning in the region. Even though they are the mainstream of the region, their existence has not received noticeable attention in history. Accordingly, Their cultural identity also has received only little attention. This is because Muslimized locals have been identified as “Arab”. Since the history of Sicily’s Islamization was also described or identified as “Arab”, the existence of Berber has not been noticed.
In this study, we examine the origin of ‘Couscus’, a main food of Berber, and the inflow process into Sicily through Berber. Also, we would like to examine how Berber’s food remained in Sicily like other cultural traces. To this end, we need to look at the process of Berber’s inflow into Sicily.
Through this study, we can find the existence of ‘Berber’, a subject that has not been revealed in history. In addition, through this fact, we will learn that the Sicilian Islamization process and the culture were created by more diverse subjects than expected. As a result, through the meaning of Couscous, we can learn that there are various subjects that have not been revealed in Mediterranean civilization.
