Abstract

In this paper, we intend to provide an anthropological perspective of the labour practices carried out by Senegalese migrants in Argentina.  We address certain processes which contribute to give shape and meaning to the labour pathways of these people. We analyze the role of state control agents governing labour practices, the ways in which local media objectifies them, as well as the ethnic identifications and the belonging to transnational networks of these migrants. From a biographical and transnational approach, we conceive the practices of the subjects as strategies of a "know how to migrate" and "know how to circulate" (ARAB, 2008). The methodology applied is an ethnographic fieldwork in the context of origin and destination of the migrants. Here we present two cases of labour pathways.
