| Summary: | Just a few decades ago, the great majority of Mauritanians were still nomads, living and moving in the Sahara Desert. Nowadays they represent less than two percent of the entire Mauritanian population. However, the centuries-old traditions and cultural practices they cultivated continue to enjoy a strong presence in current society. But, where, when and from whom does the nomadic Mauritanian cultural identity originate? |
