요약This research concerns the social transformations associated with the abolition of slavery in Mauritania, with a focus on the recent history of the Harat黔in community and its diaspora. The Harat黔in diaspora originated and developed out of the trans-Saharan slave trade with the displacement of sub-Saharan populations across North and West African regions. In this work, I investigate the Muslim initiatives of Harat黔in communities, including the performance of el-medh and mosque-building, in colonial and post-colonial Mauritania. It draws on Arabic materials, government documents, French writings, and oral interviews with a cross-section of Mauritanians to examine how Harat黔in men and women negotiated their social and religious status as French rule (1902 through 1960) and slavery's gradual abolition transformed Mauritanian society in the colonial and post-colonial eras. Harat黔in Muslims lived in a world dominated by the Biz黔an, who define themselves as "white" and include Arabs, Berbers, and other tributary Saharan groups. Through cultural and entrepreneurial initiatives, including mosque-building and performing Sufi rituals, the Harat黔in have asserted a shared Islamic identity with the Biz黔an. But these Muslim expressions have not been welcomed by most Biz黔an: Harat黔in mosques have been destroyed, and Harat黔in performance of el-medh has often been marginalized and treated as unrefined Sufi devotional music. My goal is to show how Harat黔in socio-political actions have changed their status in northwest African hierarchies, and how el-medh and mosque-building reflect their investment in religious practices that strengthen their sense of community and cohesive group identity. By focusing on the contested processes of Harat黔in mosque-building and the performance of el-medh, this dissertation illuminates the growth of Muslim consciousness among Harat黔in Muslims and analyzes interconnections between religious practice and assertions of social equality. It also exposes tensions within Muslim beliefs and practices, as well as the overlap between social and religious struggles over power and authority in 20th-century Mauritania.
