des Guin6ens au Senegal." In: Les Migrations Africaines, ed. by
J.L. Amselle, pp. 63-98. Paris: Francois Maspero, 1976.
Study looks at the historical stages of the gradual settlement
of Guineans in Senegal, first in the eastern region, then in
Casamance and the urban areas. Migration is seen as a result of
an economically and politically oppressive colonial situation,
this stage being followed by seasonal migrant farming connected to
the expansion of groundnut production in Senegal.

Quest for Cash in the Senegambia. Baltimore, MD: University of
Maryland, Baltimore County, February 1980, 307 p.; maps; tables.
(Draft report prepared for AID).
Study describes and analyzes population movements within the
Senegambia in relation to the past and present economy of the
region and explores the policy implications of migratory patterns.
Looks at the historic policies which have accentuated migration,
unequal development patterns and policy alternatives which may
mitigate the negative consequences of these trends. In the River
Valley and ferlo of northern Senegal competing patterns of land
use require nomads to settle. The groundnut basin has more complex
migratory patterns; the border provinces of eastern Senegal
and Upper Casamance supply the cash crop zones with migrant labor
and receive settlers from areas across neighboring borders.
186. Delaunay, D. Migrations et Penetration de l'Economie Marchande: Le
Waalo (Rgion du Fleuve).Dakar: O.R.S.T.O.M., October 1975, 47 p.
A study of contemporary migration in a historical perspective
in the Waalo region of northern Senegal. Economic history
of the region shows that during the colonial period commercial
capital mobilized domestic labor for the commercial production of
agricultural goods and for wage labor. The author reviews the
Atlantic trade of the 18th century, the commercial production of
rubber, slavery, and the failure of the agricultural colonization
in the region. The migration flows were essentially directed
toward the groundnut region. After the Second World War, the
problems associated with groundnut production and the development
of import substitution industries reoriented the migration flow
toward cities.
187. DeLeede, J., et. al. Migration and Employment in Senegal: An Introductory
Report. Washington, D.C.: World Bank, September 1976,
54 p.
Preliminary report of a World Bank mission on migration and
employment in Senegal. The document supports the rural orientation
of the Government's development strategy. International migration,
mainly to and from neighboring African councries and France is
important for some regions but does not influence the country's
overall demography. Questions of domestic migration are important
