Abstract
This paper explores the text and context of Miriama Baâ's 1979 novel, So Long A Letter , as a view of globalist and localist approaches to migration expressed in the popular cultural form of narrative fiction. It contrasts migration with staying home as responses to social pressures on contemporary Senegalese women. It identifies a hidden discourse of grieving for the cultural and social losses involved in urbanisation, in contradiction to the dominant discourse of syncretism's triumph.
