dcterms:abstract
	In Niger, the marabout wields much of the power of the European Christian clergy of the Middle Ages, his outlook and many of his actions having not changed since. He has wide ranging powers emanating from his multi-faceted positions. In addition to being a religious man, he is a legal expert, teacher, doctor and magician, excluding other strictly secular jobs unconnected with his title which he can hold. This paper scrutinizes the diverse capacities of the marabout.
