Le développement des nouvelles technologies et notamment de la téléphonie mobile a modifié le lien que les migrants entretiennent avec leur famille restée au pays. Chacun, ici ou là-bas, se réjouit d'être en contact rapide et direct avec les parents et de pouvoir régler plus rapidement certains problèmes et conflits.

Enquête à Paris, chez des migrants originaires du bassin du fleuve Sénégal, situé en Afrique de l'Ouest et partagé par la Guinée, le Mali, la Mauritanie et le Sénégal.
