TUAREG SOCIETY WITHIN A GLOBALIZED WORLD

ANJA FISCHER & INES KOHL (eds.)

The Tuareg (Kel Tamasheq) are an ancient nomadic people who have inhabited the0 Sahara, one of the most extreme environments in the world, for millennia. In what ways have the lives of the Tuareg changed, and what roles do they have, in a modern and increasingly globalized world? Here, leading scholars explore the many facets of contemporary Tuareg existence: from transnational identity to international politics, from economy to social structure, from music to beauty, from mobility to slavery.
