Later during the 1990s, Algeria had slipped into a period of terrorism that is known as the 'Black Decade', which led to violent conflicts and a long period of instability affecting politics, economics, social unity and cultural advance. These push factors triggered the movement of many Algerians in general and many Kabyles in particular to seek safety and better life prospects in different Western countries including the United Kingdom. The current paper which presents one of the prominent findings of my forthcoming doctoral thesis aims to offer the reader how the Black Decade is still affecting the Kabyles' diaspora and how the violent confrontation that occurred during the earlier 'Berber Spring 2 ' had reinforced the ties between Kabylia and the diasporic community in the UK. The narratives of this research gathered through the self-retrospective diary and indepth open-ended semi-structured interviews, which were conducted amongst skilled Kabyles who left Algeria during the periods of cultural conflicts and the Black Decade, and its aftermath, reveal that the Kabyles' diaspora presents themselves as post-modern cultural hybrids, who demonstrated against oppression in many cultural and political activities to improve the lives of those living in Algeria.

Following this separation, Berbers have faced work integration difficulties at their early stages of migration. Therefore, the focus of this paper is on transnational identity development, which remains an under-researched aspect of how intra-ethnic attachment may affect the professional identity development and the social integration among Berbers. To provide a rich understanding of Berbers’ migration process, the data was collected by using qualitative methods including; initial interviews. This method was conducted with 7 Berber migrants who live in the UK, Tamazight, Musician, JSK, Tutor, and Painter are based in London, Twin mum in Wales and Louiza in Portsmouth. Studying this specific ethnic group might provide an insight into whether attachment among Berbers contributes to their work integration and professional identity development. There are two principal aspects to th...
