Senegal, 1910s: A View of the Administration District in Sénégalé-Sud, a Village near Senegal's Southern Border This photograph transports us back in time to the 1910s, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Sénégalé-Sud, a village situated near the southern border of Senegal, then a French territory in West Africa. The image reveals the administration district of this small community, where the colonial influence is palpable in the European-style buildings lining the streets. The bustling scene unfolds as a line of Senegalese men and women make their way along the road, each carrying large baskets or jars balanced expertly on their heads. The bowls and jars, often made from local materials like calabash or clay, were essential for transporting water, grains, and other goods. The carriers' determined expressions and the rhythmic sway of their bodies as they walk convey the importance of their role in the community's daily functioning. The village's streets, lined with trees and dotted with thatched-roof huts, provide a stark contrast to the more formal administration buildings. The blend of traditional African architecture and European influence is a testament to the complex interplay of cultures that characterized the colonial era in West Africa. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the resilience and adaptability of the Senegalese people as they navigated the challenges of colonial rule. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse cultural heritage that continues to shape Senegal and its people today.
