À propos de l'auteur

Judith Scheele is a social anthropologist trained at Oxford. After a few years spent in Germany she now holds a professorship at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in France. She has spent many years living in and researching the Sahara, with a focus on Algeria, Mali and Chad and a more recent focus on northern Sudan and its borders with Libya and Egypt. She has published three books, one with James Currey, and two with Cambridge University Press. Her second book, Smugglers and Saints of the Sahara, has been described by Deborah Harrold (The Journal of North African Studies) as 'an irresistible read', 'something particular and intensely human', and, by Roman Loimeier (Africa), as 'an academic page-turner', 'brilliantly written and thrilling to read'.
