Village-Urban Relationship and Social Changes Facing Seasonal Migration: The Movement of People between Songho (Dogon Region) and Bamako Mali

This work focuses on the circulating mobility of men & women for twenty years between the villages of Songho & Bamako (Republic of Mali). The data were collected during the fieldwork carried out between 2001 & 2007. I conducted interviews & participated in religious, life cycle, & healing rituals in Songho as well as in Bamako, & I observed the activities of affinity groups. There are differences between ages & gender as well as a redefinition of the space of membership which is another form of moving territorialisation. Adapted from the source document.
