CAIRN-INT.INFO : International Edition
English

The Senegal valley has served as the broken mirror of two illusions: development through irrigation and the elimination of illiteracy in the popular mother tongue should have ended migration, and, since 1990, money from (ex-)international migrant should have been invested in irrigated land. The use of a multi-sited ethnography revealed older migrations and cultural reverberations. Likewise, the gamble on migrant money failed to take into account the very hierarchical moral economy of the villages, the traveling cultures of transnational networks, and the existence of cultural brokers.
