Description
Résumé:In this article I analyze the labor dimension of contemporary Senegalese migration from an anthropological perspective, in order to deepen the experience of handmade bijouterie among the Wolofs. I study its traditional social organization and characterize its system of hereditary stratification, as well as its work-related identifications, especially among the Nyeenyo (craftsmen and griots). This provides a frame of reference for Senegalese society, both in the context of origin and migration. I applied an ethnographic methodology with Senegalese migrants in Argentina between 2012 and 2018, and in Senegal in 2017, together with a review of specialized literature.
