3 A brief discussion of the later nineteenth and twentieth century legacy of Shaikh Sidiyya as well as of how Moorish leadership was modified by French colonial rule, especially early in this century, is given in Stewart's “Political Authority and Social Stratification in Mauritania,” in Gellner and Micaud, eds., Arabs and Berbers (London, 1972). For those wanting more information about Mauritania after Sidiyya's death, this is a key article.
