Al-wasīṭ
Le nom de Mauritanie ou La Mauritanie ayant été imposé à ce qui est aujourd’hui La République islamique de Mauritanie par les autorités coloniales, les Mauritaniens arabophones préfèrent souvent évoquer l’imaginaire saharien du Bilād Shinqīṭ dans les textes culturels, littéraires et historiques actuels. Cependant, si le Bilād Shinqīṭ est aujourd’hui utilisé comme remplaçant l’authenticité culturelle précoloniale, le concept lui-même était à l’ori…
Hidāyat man ḥārā fī amr al-naṣāra
Le territoire contesté du Sahara Occidental est l’un des nombreux cas où les frontières coloniales tracées à travers l’Afrique n’ont pas permis d’aboutir à la constitution d’un État postcolonial pérenne.

This is achieved by reading his legal ruling alongside primary sources from the same period. The amir is shown to be both a …
Al-Shaikh Māʾ al-ʿAynayn
Although the 19th-century Sufi figure al-Shaikh Maʾ al-ʿAynayn led a major resistance movement in what is now southern Morocco, northern Mauritania, and the disputed Western Sahara while also becoming one of the most widely printed authors on the Fez lithographic press, very little information on his literary and scholarly output exists in Europhone sources. This is largely due to the marginalization of texts inconsistent with Middle East-centere…
Mauritania
This chapter traces the origins of the novel genre in Mauritania. It first considers the cultural and historical context of the emergence of the Mauritanian novel, focusing on its link to the rise of Nouakchott as the country’s capital. It then discusses the rise of the Arabic novel and the influence of the Nahḍa movement on many Arabic-speaking Mauritanians, including Aḥmad wuld ʻAbd al-Qādir, Al-Sunnī ʻAbdāwa, and Tarba bint ʻAmmār. It also exa…
