dcterms:abstract
	This essay examines the dangers and possibilities, in times of transformation, for the practice of Islamic blessing powers called albaraka by women and men ritual specialists and other leaders among the Tuareg of Niger and Mali, West Africa. Sociopolitical dynamics challenge some arrangements that have underwritten traditional albaraka power. In this scenario, prominent men and women who protect and mediate the Tuareg world from threatening outsiders draw on this force in diverse ways.
