EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Kermel Market in Dakar, Senegal during the 1920s. The market, located in the heart of the city, was a vibrant hub of trade and commerce in French West Africa at the time. The image shows a crowd of Senegalese traders and sellers, dressed in colorful clothing, busily exchanging goods at their stalls. The market's arches, adorned with vegetation, provide shade from the African sun as the traders and buyers engage in lively negotiations. French colonial rule is evident in the background, with European traders and officials observing the scene from a distance. The French flag flies proudly above the market, a reminder of the colonial power that oversaw the region's economic activities. Despite the presence of the French, the market remained a predominantly African space, with Senegalese traders selling a wide range of goods, from fresh produce and textiles to handicrafts and livestock. The market was a vital source of income for many Senegalese families, and the trading activities that took place here helped to foster a rich cultural exchange between different communities. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the vibrant and diverse trading scene that once thrived in Dakar's Kermel Market. The image is a testament to the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the Senegalese people, who continue to preserve their rich cultural heritage and trading traditions to this day.
