المشروع الثقافي الفرنسي في موريتاينا : دراسة للأبعاد الاستشراقية في بلاد شنقيط

Abstract EN

Since its occupation of Mauritania, France has sought to obliterate the country's identity and put down its scientific radiation.

It focused initially on the dissemination of French culture as well as Arab culture in the country.

Through: honoring the sons of the heads of the tribes to study in French institutions, opening French schools in the country, and providing encouraging grants to students ...

etc.

In order to achieve this, it was necessary to send missions to discover the region in its dimensions and its cultural identity and cultural links: depending on the colonial agents of: Orientalists, military and translators .

In this paper we will address the reasons for this discovery and its impact on the identity of the country.
