- Abstract
- en A description of social relationships among the inhabitants of the Lome's zongo, i.e. the urban ward populated with Muslims from the Sudanic hinterland. The 'make do' economy is dominated by the wealthier traders, mai gida, under a kind of patronage, derivated from traditional hospitality duties and a network of face-to-face links designated by Hausa kinship and amnity terms, which take up a special meaning in this context.
