Coping with changes:

Through an interdisciplinary approach, this book accounts for the on-going societal changes among pastoral nomadic Tuareg settled in a desert zone situated 40 km northeast of GAO town in northern Mali.The people under study here are in a process to cease their nomadic way of life without having yet become fully sedentary. They used both the formal education and local knowledge as the main copying strategies within this transition in order to transform their current situation into better life. The book highlights how the whole process of these choice- making has gradually reordered the local social relations.
