%X Midway in the the Senegal River Valley, most Haalpulaar villages are headed by chiefs chosen, in some cases for several centuries now, from within one or two families by certain other lineages. Village and territory chiefs (respectively jom wuro and jom leydi) are not the only local office-holders. Other "noble" families belonging to four ethnic status groups provide persons for other villages office (imam at the mosque, tax-collector, chief of fishermen) whose holders may be appointed, elected or chosen as a function of seniority. Permutations make this pluralistic society work : no status group dominates all domains. The anthropological model of the city-state (in the sense of the Ancient Greek polis) can help explain the political ingenuity if which the Haalpulaar have proven so capable. (Résumé d'auteur)
