Au Sahara occidental, entre les derniers contreforts de l'Anti-Atlas et l'océan Atlantique s'étend le Pays Takna. Plaque tournante du commerce de longue distance, cet espace est depuis des temps reculés l'objet d'un étroit contrôle de la part des populations qui l'occupent. À l'encontre de l'historiographie contemporaine, héritière des chroniqueurs arabes du Moyen Âge, l'auteur appréhende cette zone géographique à partir des données archéologiques les plus récentes et attache une attention toute particulière aux sources locales : généalogies, fonds d'archives familiaux, registres comptables des maisons de commerce. Appliquant une méthode de lecture longitudinale, au plus près des documents, il dégage les outils indispensables, et jusqu'ici ignorés, pour comprendre et analyser la dynamique des alliances économiques et politiques trans-sahariennes, du xvie siècle à nos jours. La combinaison des modes de vie offre ici une approche pertinente du lien des tribus avec le sol. L'espace n'est plus seulement topographique : ses frontières sont aussi sociales. Le modèle anthropologique préside ainsi aux stratégies de contrôle du territoire et trouve son expression dans l'affirmation des solidarités.

This book explores the traces of the passage of time on the protracted and intractable conflict of Western Sahara. The authors offer a multilevel analysis of recent developments from the global to the local scenes, including the collapse of the architecture of the UN-led conflict resolution process, the advent of the War on Terror to the the Sahara-Sahel area and the impact of the ‘Arab Spring’ and growing regional security instability. Special attention is devoted to changes in the Western Sahara territory annexed by Morocco and the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria. Morocco has adapted its governance and public policies to profound socio-demographic transformations in the territory under its control and has attempted to obtain international recognition for this annexation by proposing an Autonomy Plan. The Polisario Front and Sahrawi nationalists have shifted their strategy and pushed the centre of gravity of the conflict back inwards by focusing on pro-independence activism inside the disputed territory.

In this innovative new history, Erin Pettigrew utilizes invisible forces and entities - esoteric knowledge and spirits - to show how these forms of knowledge and unseen forces have shaped social structures, religious norms, and political power in the Saharan West. Situating this ethnographic history in what became la Mauritanie under French colonial rule and, later the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Pettigrew traces the changing roles of Muslim spiritual mediators and their Islamic esoteric sciences - known locally as l'hÌĐjaÌ"b - over the long-term history of the region. By exploring the impact of the immaterial in the material world and demonstrating the importance of Islamic esoteric sciences in Saharan societies, she illuminates peoples' enduring reliance upon these sciences in their daily lives and argues for a new approach to historical research that takes the immaterial seriously.
