Smugglers and Saints of the Sahara describes life on and around the
contemporary border between Algeria and Mali, exploring current
developments in a broad historical and socioeconomic context.
Basing her findings on long-term fieldwork with trading families,
truckers, smugglers and scholars, Judith Scheele investigates the
history of contemporary patterns of mobility from the late
nineteenth century to the present. Through a careful analysis of
family ties and local economic records, this book shows how
long-standing mobility and interdependence have shaped not only
local economies, but also notions of social hierarchy, morality and
political legitimacy, creating patterns that endure today and that
need to be taken into account in any empirically-grounded study of
the region.
