Desert Frontier is a study of the ecological and economic impact of
a long-term trend toward increasing aridity along the southern edge
of the western Sahara. Beginning in the early seventeenth century,
this climatological trend forced the desert approximately 200-300
kilometers to the south, transforming ethnic identities and ways of
life along the length of the Sahel. Based on extensive archival
research and on Saharan oral data, Desert Frontier argues that the
principal historical dynamics of the precolonial Sahel were
determined by this pervasive ecological crisis, rather than by the
dynamics of a European-dominated world system.
