fiSearchFormMaxSetId='AX006201'; Country Info Mauritania Introduction Mauritania General Data Mauritania Maps Mauritania Culture ... Mauritania Time and Date Mauritania Culture Back to Top Mauritania's nineteenth century French colonizers envisioned the nation as a geographic and cultural bridge linking North Africa and West Africa. In the late 1980s, Mauritania bore little resemblance to this vision. Instead, it was a society undergoing profound transformation, torn between two cultural and linguistic traditions. The process of compelling nomads to settle that was begun by the colonial government earlier in the twentieth century was accelerated by the severe drought that began in the mid-1960s. For the next two decades, the rate of urbanization was unprecedented; Mauritania was transformed from a nomadic pastoral society to a predominantly urban one. Large pastoral populations were forced to leave land that could no longer support them. The already-overpopulated cities, almost all of which were located in the far south, were unprepared to obtain these displaced populations. In the late 1980s, ethnic tensions further contributed to an unstable social environment. Even the similarities that linked Maures with peoples of African descent were comparatively superficial. Religious unity within Islam, for example, masked wide differences in religious observances among Maures and blacks. Government officials hoped that the nation's rapid urbanization might increase social and cultural interaction and reduce prejudices, but most admitted that the task of developing a true national identity and a unified society promised to be long and difficult.

Nouakchott - Culture It is Mauritania's administrative and economic centre and is served by an international airport and a seaport nearby. Its population is 600,000 (1987 estimate). From its beginnings as a village in the desert on the route north from Dakar, the community grew after being chosen to be the site of the national capital in 1957, three years before Mauritania achieved full independence. The National School of Administration (1966), the National Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (1961), the National Library, and the National Archives are all here. In Nouakchott, the capital, temperatures reach about 33°C (92°F) in the hottest months and average about 13°C (56°F) in the coolest month. Nouakchott has an average rainfall of 178 mm (7 in) a year. About 75% of Mauritanians are Moors who speak an Arabic dialect called Hassaniyah. They are a traditional nomadic people of the desert and savannah areas, but a prolonged drought in the 1970s caused a massive movement into cities such as Nouakchott. The nomadic population some 83% of the total in 1963 was reduced to only 25% by 1986.
