Abstract
This paper examines intergenerational patterns of mobility between Senegal, Mali and Mauritania. These patterns include the circulation of traders into Mauritania; seasonal labour migrations across the Senegal River; and displacements from recently dispossessed localities. Migration channels are diverse in their historical origins, the profile of the migrant, destinations, and the role played by migrancy in the sending community. This paper will analyse the extent to which particular migrations, in different moments, resist, reproduce or circumvent the challenges produced by waves of accumulation, which are extensive in recent times as well as in past eras. It examines this question with reference to the historical regional phenomena of managed labour mobility, resistance migrations, and trade networks that have evolved alongside external economic interventions and boundaries.
