Bush Is Sweet

- Globalization, Identity and Power Among Wodaabe Fulani in Niger

Bag om Bush Is Sweet

In this book Kristn Loftsdttir gives the reader a highly personal insight into the lives of the Wodaabe nomads of Niger, who are striving to make a living between the bush and the city. She spent nearly two years as a Wodaabe, living within a Wodaabe extended family and alternating between the nomadic setting of the bush and the urbanized life-style of the capital, Niamey. Loftsdttir was thus in a unique position to observe the effects that increasing urbanization and globalization, together with the modern tourist industrys preconceptions and demands, have had on the identity and power relations of the Wodaabe.
