Migration among the Bassari people of eastern Senegal has produced
an apparent paradox: villages are experiencing rapid and profound
change as they are being incorporated into larger national
structures and, at the same time, village institutions remain
largely untouched. In this book, Dr. Nolan examines both the causes
and consequences of migration from the Bassari village of Etyolo.
Through extensive fieldwork spanning eight years, he shows how
rural and urban areas have interacted over time. Although levels of
both seasonal and long-term migration have become substantial,
agricultural productivity remains stable and traditional practices
persist. Dr. Nolan explains how the effects of migration have been
controlled and shaped and discusses how migration may even have
strengthened the village power structure. Returning migrants
contribute cash and goods to the village economy but do not act as
dissidents or innovators. However, Dr. Nolan points to adverse
effects migration may have in the future and indicates what the
first signs of strfAss may be.
