Abstract

The Agadez region, Niger, experienced an important tourism development between the 1970’s and 1990’s. Then, it was suddendly interrupted by the two successive Tuareg rebellions and the spread of islamist threat. This development led to the rise of new services in town and the growth and adaptation of craftship for fitting the tourist needs and desires. This transformation also led to a new distribution of profesional tasks between men and women. This paper presents the modalities of this gendered redistribution of tasks and social identities, during and after the tourism period.
