Abstract
Aspects of the religious scene. Marabouts and brotherhoods. Apparently religious life in Mauritanian society perpetuates traditional features characterized by the influence of Saints and leaders of religious brotherhoods. This obscures important developments : the influence of brotherhood organisational patterns borrowed from Senegal is one of them, as well as the interpenetration of urban and rural Islamic patterns. However, these religious affiliations are partly different from the other forms of social affiliations and it is difficult to know how they will evolve.
