Focusing on the geography of seasonal migration in the African Sahel, this work highlights the experiences of migrants in Maradi, Niger. Author David Rain challenges the perception that migration is solely a product of modernity, illustrating it as a long-standing human practice driven by necessity and resourcefulness. Each year, after the harvest, many individuals leave their villages to seek work in urban centers, contributing to local economies while maintaining ties to their origins. Through interviews and geographic analysis, the book reveals the resilience and adaptability of these "eaters of the dry season."
