The Upper Senegal River Valley stretching from Matam, Senegal to Diamou, Mali is one of the more underdeveloped river regions of the western Sahel. Perhaps due to the lack of economic alternatives in the region, the Senegal River Valley has long been the source of African labour migrations. In the late 1950s, there were massive shifts in the migration away from Africa towards France. In this paper, the men who migrate to France are contrasted with those who go to African destinations. The analysis concentrates on the differences in the families and communities involved in the alternative migrant circuits, consistent with earlier analyses of migration patterns, especially the international migration patterns, that family and community factors determine the patterns of migration adopted by members of the impoverished peasantry.
