Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is primarily concerned with the economic
conditions of the Wolof in the Lower Ferlo region of Senegal. Also discussed are the
environment, settlement patterns, agriculture, fishing, internal migration and social
organization. This region has an almost equal number of Peul inhabitants, who are
pastoralists. (Information on this group has been marked for the Fulani file: MS11.) The
Lower Ferlo is a poor country and the differing ways of life present problems of social and
economic relations. The author concludes by considering recent attempts at change in the
area.
