Maghrebis or Maghrebians are the inhabitants of Maghreb region, the westernmost part of North Africa and the Arab world. Maghrebis were known in medieval times as Roman Africans or Moors; the term Moor is derived from Mauri, the Roman name for the Berbers of Mauretania, land of the Moors, the Roman name for the western part of the Maghreb. The vast majority of Maghrebis are Arab-Berbers, Arabized Berbers and Berbers, who are native to the region and synonymous with the term in older and historiographical literature. Historic records of religion in the Maghreb region show its gradual inclusion in the Classical World, with coastal colonies established first by Phoenicians, some Greeks, extensive conquest and colonization by the Romans. By the 2nd century common era, the area had become a center of Latin-speaking Christianity. Both Roman settlers and Romanized populations converted to Christianity; the region produced figures such as Christian Church writer Tertullian. The region was a birthplace of many Christians movements like donatism, now cast-off.

The domination of Christianity ended when Arab invasions brought Islam in 647. Carthage fell in the remainder of the region followed in subsequent decades. Gradual Islamization proceeded, although surviving letters showed correspondence from regional Christians to Rome up until the 9th century. Christianity was still a living faith. Christian bishoprics and dioceses continued to be active, with relations continuing with Rome; as late as Pope Benedict VII reign, a new Archbishop of Carthage was consecrated. Evidence of Christianity in the region faded through the 10th century. During the seventh century, the region's peoples began their nearly total conversion to Islam. There is a small but thriving Jewish community, as well as a small Christian community. Most Muslims follow the Maliki school of Sunni Islam. Small Ibadi communities remain in some areas. A strong tradition of venerating marabouts and saints' tombs is found throughout regions inhabited by Berbers. Any map of the region demonstrates the tradition by the proliferation of "sidi"s, showing places named after the marabouts.

Like some other religious traditions, this has decreased over the 20th century. A network of zawiyas traditionally helped proliferate basic literacy and knowledge of Islam in rural regions; the Christian community of Berber or Arab descent has experienced significant growth, conversions to Christianity to Evangelicalism, is common in Algeria in the Kabylie and Tunisia. A 2015 study estimates 380,000 Muslims converted to Christianity in Algeria. Maghrebis have settled in the industrial regions in France in the Île-de-France and Mediterranean regions. Many famous French people like Édith Piaf, Isabelle Adjani, Arnaud Montebourg, Alain Bashung, Dany Boon and many others have Maghrebi ancestry. According to Michel Tribalat, a researcher at INED, there were more than 4.6 million people of Maghrebi origin living in France in 2011. Below is a table of population of Maghrebi origin in France in 2011, numbers are in thousands: Note: for 2nd generation born in France only individuals under 60 are taken into account.

According to Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques, 16% of newborns in France between 2006 and 2008 have at least one Maghrebi grandparent born in the Greater Maghreb. In 2005, the percentage of young people under 18 of Maghrebi origin were about 7% in Metropolitan France, 12% in Île-de-France, 13% in Lyon, 21% in Perpignan, 22% in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, 37% in 18th arrondissement of Paris and 40% in several arrondissements of Marseille. According to other sources between 5 and 8 million people of Maghrebin origin live in France, between 150,000 and 300,000 people of Maghrebin origin live in Canada. Various disciplines shed light on the origin of the Maghrebis. North-Africans are defined as Mediterraneans with Nordic elements. A significant proportion of the Rif Berbers and Chouias have blue or green eyes; the genetic proximity observed between the North-Africans and Southern Europeans is due to the fact that both these groups shared a common ancestor either in the Upper Paleolithic, in the Neolithic or alternatively during history with the invasion and the occupation during nearly seven centuries of the Iberian Peninsula by Moorish troops.

A genetic study published in January 2012 stated that the indigenous Northwest African ancestry appears most related to populations outside of Africa but "divergence between Maghrebi peoples and Near Eastern/Europeans precedes the Holocene." The Y-chromosome genetic structure of the Maghreb population seems to be modulated by geography. The Y-DNA Haplogroup E1b1b-M215 and J, which are common among Afroasiatic-speaking populations in Africa and the Middle East, are frequent in the Maghreb. In some parts of Tunisia, E1b1b-M215 can peak at 100% of the population. Followed by Haplogroup J Haplogroup J-M267, Middle Eastern, which can reach frequencies of 40% in the region, has its high

Fritelli Fritelle are Corsican doughnuts or fritters made from fried wheat or chestnut flour. A preparation of the fritters is referred to as Fritelli di Casgiu Frescu with fresh cheese or Fritelli di Salciccia with sausage. According to an 1880 Scribners monthly account, the chestnuts were collected from those that had fallen; the nuts were taken to huts and placed six-inches deep in trays where they were slow cooked with green wood fires until hard and dry. In this state they could be kept for years and were milled into flour "like corn or wheat", made into fritelli or other dishes such as "pulenta", pattoni and cialdi.

Summer Mummers is a yearly production presented at the historic Yucca Theater in downtown Midland, Texas. Running from the first weekend in June to Labor Day weekend, There are 30 performances each summer; the nightly show consists of a locally written melodrama, followed by the Olio. The profits from Summer Mummers directly benefit Midland Community Theatre though Summer Mummers is a separate entity from Midland Community Theatre, it is estimated that 25% of Midland Community Theatre's budget is provided by the success of Summer Mummers. In 1949, supporters of Midland Community Theatre were looking for a way to bring extra money into the newly formed organization. One supporter brought up the fact that melodramas were still popular in California, it was soon decided to present a production of "The Drunkard." Another supporter remembered that street performers in the 1800s were called "mummers." After deciding that the production would be presented in the summer, the name "Summer Mummers" was born.

The four individuals considered the'founders' were Art Cole. Cole directed and starred in the first production and Pennebaker and Pomeroy ran the front-of-house operations. In the early years of Summer Mummers, productions were presented in various locations, including VFW halls and Theatre Center, the former home of Midland Community Theatre. After the 1981 restoration of the theater was completed, the Yucca became the new home of Summer Mummers. Summer Mummers still performs at the Yucca to this day; the first half of the show features the melodrama. A new locally written melodrama script is written every year, with some scripts being repeated now and then; each script features a general "theme" for the story.

He is short in stature, with blond hair, no facial hair. Although he takes the leadership role, he is shown to be less intelligent than he believes. A point is always made to remind the audience; the Hero's Sidekick – the hero's trusty companion. Although he stands for what's right, the Hero's Sidekick's interests are sexual. Although he is presented as the dumbest person in the story, it can be argued that he is one of the smarter characters.

The Hero's Sidekick is taller than the Hero. He has ratty red hair, is missing a tooth, is seen wearing red long-johns as part of his attire; the Heroine – Like the Hero, she is portrayed as being a naive person. She stands for what's right, although some scripts hint at the idea that the Heroine is sexually frustrated, she is short with blond hair, to complement her true love, the Hero. The Heroine's Sidekick – is the Heroine's best friend, she looks out for the best interests of her naive friend, while acting sexually toward the Hero's Sidekick. The Heroine's Sidekick is portrayed as a woman, overweight and wears excessive amounts of makeup; the Villain – Driven by greed, the Villain is always looking for the next way to make money.

He helps; the moviola is a short, silent film shot by a three-person team, features the characters continuing the story in different areas of Midland. A new moviola is shot every year; the moviola features title cards. Title cards are used to notify the audience members that an intermission is beginning. During several parts of the melodrama, a movie screen drops down and shows what is known as the moviola; this is done for two reasons. One, to advance the storyline, two, to give the actors some time to take a break; the moviola relies on sight gags, as well as occasional cameos from local newscasters and business owners.
