Despite being central to the development of Saharan regional
connectivity, northern Chad has been closed to researchers since
the late 1960s and thus remains virtually unknown to scholarship.
Based on long-term fieldwork, The Value of Disorder is an original
and in-depth account of the area and its Tubu majority inhabitants.
Julien Brachet and Judith Scheele examine trans-border connectivity
and trade; civil war and rebellion; wealth creation and dispersal;
labour and gender relations; and aspirations to moral autonomy in
northern Chad from an internal point of view - a point of view that
in turn participates in a dynamic process of regional
interdependence. Vividly ethnographic, the book gives precedence to
local categories of value, while asking broader questions about the
nature of non-state regional political organisation. Questions that
inform current political developments in the Sahara more widely,
and have the potential to challenge key concepts in Saharan studies
and the social sciences.
