West African pilgrims in Sudan believe that walking across the savannas and desert is the only proper way of performing the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. However, their journey appears to stop halfway in Sudan, where many of them reside in stranger enclaves as fourth- and fifth-generation immigrants. Describing themselves as transients, they see these villages as temporary stations on their way to Mecca. This book examines life in a set of pilgrim villages to show how the concept of pilgrimage is maintained. It examines why these people allow themselves to live in a state of permanent transition, and argues that here pilgrimage is a symbolic journey analogous to life itself.

Large-scale social phenomena, pilgrimages cannot be reduced to their only religious dimension. They participate fully in the mobility that crosses the region, fuelling tourism development and trade. Ephemeral crossroads, extraordinary events, pilgrimages form a melting pot where not only people come together, but also goods and ideas that swarm with the return of pilgrims, leading to material, political, even psychological, important and often lasting transformations. Gathering sometimes huge crowds, accompanied by intense festive activities, they are both challenges to public order and put to the test of the urban public space that they transform and remodel. The contributions gathered in this volume attempt to report, by multiplying the situations observed and the angles of approach, of this polymorphous event that is the pilgrimage to the Maghreb and the Middle East. A universal phenomenon, it takes on many specific features in this vast region and remains one of the main vectors of community integration.
