| dc.description.abstract | Based in central Chad, the nomadic Walad Djifir are part of extensive socio-economic networks, ranging from very local cattle markets, to Western Unions in Libya, and selling merchandise in the Central African Republic. This ethnography embraces the intricate relationships between sedentary and mobility, the mundane and the extreme, flexibility and expectations to explore how Walad Djifir weave the globalising world into their own. | |
