Abstract

The National Phenomenon in Western Sahara. This article analyses the Western Sahraouian nation from the perspective of its nationalist efforts, which, in derivative interaction with its enemies, rely on revolutionary cultural production. The cultural struggle supports, influences and constitutes the emancipatory political discourse, which for decades has manifested from beyond the claimed territory. In a post-colonial context, particular nuances frame this ideological confrontation, such as the consolidation and parallel mutation of the national identity and associated cultural production, in exile.
