Abstract

J. Barotj — Emigration in a Village of the Niger Republic. The economy of the formerly agricultural Hausa village of Affala is now based on wages remitted by young male migrants. Three types of migration can be distinguished : short range, to urban centers in the Niger Republic itself ; middle range, to big West African cities (Dakar, Abidjan) ; and long range, to France. The migrants re-group and orga-nize according to village affiliations and tend to keep aloof from the foreign milieu.
