Résumé anglais Pastoral Nomadism in Question Does pastoral nomadism still exist ? Does the dichotomy between nomadic and sedentary correspond to reality ? Nowadays, nomadism is threatened. Fields are being planted on the trails where herders used to pass but have left no tracks. Groups of herders are being assigned grazing land and watering holes. Nomadic herders used to have the possibility of working out strategies (exit, increased mobility, splitting up the family, temporary reconversion, etc.) for dealing with governmental or climatic constraints. But nomads now face constraints that leave no room for choice. Under these conditions, can they keep their sense of identity ?
