| مستخلص: |
Since the decolonisation period, the Sahrāwī in the western Sahara Desert, North Africa have experienced very specific sociopolitical transformations relating to their millennia-old specialisation in nomadic pastoralism. This article examines the effects of such transformations on particular forms of making kin out of others - milk kinship. Various political circumstances have obliged the Sahrāwī to restructure their customary principles of organisation, possibly diminishing these practices. I question the effects of the loss of milk kin - particularly of milk sons - and the strains on customary matrilocal relations in the survival pressure on kinship relying solely upon 'blood' sons to replace these 'missing men'.
