Abstract
The writer discusses “Performing the Nation, Prefiguring the State: The Western Saharan Refugees, Thirty Years Later,” by Jacob A. Mundy, which appeared in the June 2007 Journal of Modern African Studies. Conditions in the western Sahara refugee camps close to barren Tindouf, Algeria, have measurably improved since the UN brokered a cease-fire between Morocco and Polisario independence fighters over ten years ago. According to Mundy, a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter, England, however, as life has become slightly easier in the tent encampments, a great deal of the impetus for compromise in the tangled 30-year conflict has vanished.
