Saharan Crossroads offers a unique contribution to existing scholarship on the region by uniting a diverse group of African, European, and American scholars working on various facets of trans-Saharan history, social life, and cultural production, and bringing their work together for the first time. This trilingual volume includes eleven chapters written in English, five chapters in French, and three chapters in Arabic, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Sahara and this international project.Saharan Crossroads explores historical and contemporary connections and exchanges between populations living in and on both sides of the Sahara that have led to the emergence of distinctive cultural and aesthetic expressions. This contact has been fostered by a series of linkages that include the trans-Saharan caravan trade, the spread of Islam, the migration of nomadic pastoralists, and European colonization. The book includes three major sections: (1) history, culture, and identity; (2) trans-Saharan circulation of arts, music, ritual performance, and architecture; and (3) religion, law, language, and writing. While the gaze of international political analysts has turned toward the Sahara to follow problematic developments that pose serious threats to human rights and security in the region, it is especially timely to recall that the people and countries of the Sahelo-Saharan world have maintained long histories of peaceful coexistence, interdependence, and cooperation that are too often overlooked in the present. 606 $aEducation, Secondary$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aEducational assistance$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aEducational assistance 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Secondary 615 0$aEducational assistance 615 0$aEducational assistance. 676 $a373.6 702 $aDeubel$b Tara F. 702 $aYoungstedt$b Scott M. 702 $aTissie?res$b He?le?ne 702 $aAdamu$b Abdalla Uba 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458745703321 996 $aSaharan crossroads$91988676 997 $aUNINA
