The gibla, the south-west of Mauritania, is a monotonous region of gum acacia trees, baobabs, 'dead' dunes, and hillocks. This 'backwood' is the last refuge of Znāga Berber, once spoken far to the north in whole regions of the Western Sahara. A number of short poems, a cycle of folk-tales, and a handful of masterpieces of extended odes in praise of the Prophet-some 200 years old and written in Arabic script-this is the meagre literary legacy of a proud and cherished tradition
