Les migrations des jeunes Sahéliens : affirmation de soi et émancipation

Abstract: Dans les migrations Sud-Nord, les jeunes hommes occupent une place prépondérante. Leur irruption dans l'espace public dépasse largement le cadre des pays du Sud et déborde dans les espaces des pays du Nord. Une des manifestations patentes de cette présence réside aussi dans leur mobilité qui traduit notamment une démarche conquérante de nouveaux mondes.
