“…This is consistent with the literature that shows that many female professionals from developing countries migrate to the West at the behest of their husbands (Curran et al, 2006;Sinke, 2006) and supports the assumption that gender and gender relations are important factors when discussing issues related to migration (Curran et al, 2006;Sinke, 2006). Even though some of the women migrated together with their immediate family members, most of the decisions about the need to migrate, when to migrate, and where to migrate to were made by the husbands, which is in keeping with the traditional African cultural definition of gender roles that reinforces female subordination to men (Babou, 2009).…”

“…En dépit des barrières qui entravent leur mobilité, certaines Sénéga-laises prennent la route de manière autonome, et ces cas ont été récem-ment étudiés dans la littérature, par exemple celui des Mourides installées aux États-Unis (Ba, 2008 ;Babou, 2008) ou celui des commerçantes qui parcourent le globe (Bredeloup, 2012 ;Ebin, 1995 ;Evers Rosander, 2005Sarr, 1998). Cependant, ces femmes proviennent généralement d'un milieu urbain et sont le plus souvent wolof 11 .…”

“…Alors qu'une attention croissante a été accordée aux trajectoires et aux expériences des femmes migrantes (Ba et Bredeloup, 1997 ;Babou, 2008 ;Evers Rosander, 2005Grasmuck et Pessar, 1991 ;Hondagneu-Sotelo, 1994), les diverses réalités auxquelles se confrontent les femmes qui restent au pays tandis que leurs maris ou frères s'engagent dans la migration internationale ont été beaucoup moins étudiées. Ces femmes « laissées derrière » ont longtemps 1 été envisagées comme totalement passives dans le processus migratoire (Pessar, 2005).…”

“…Finalmente, y realizando un ejercicio sintético, encuentro que las interpretaciones académicas sobre el papel de las mujeres murid en la cofradía oscilan entre dos grandes tendencias hermenéuticas 25 , a saber: las que consideran que existe un margen amplio para la agencia femenina y que, de hecho, existen numerosos ejemplos del activo papel de las mujeres murid en la cofradía, a través de estrategias que limitan el poder patriarcal del liderazgo masculino; y las que consideran que, pese a los esfuerzos interpretativos anteriores, el papel de la mujer continúa siendo de una gran subordinación en el muridismo, primando la marginación y la desigualdad (a favor del hombre) en la cofradía. 23 Sobre actividades (re)productivas de mujeres murid en la diáspora, ver Babou (2009) o Evers Rosander (2006. 24 Los trabajos de Ba (2008) analizan la renegociación de la identidad musulmana en la migración (en su caso, para el contexto de Nueva York).…”
