Kurzfassung:
Surviving with Dignity focuses on the lived experience of two generations of migrant Hausa men in Niamey, Niger's capital city, set in a larger social matrix of national and global transformations. Their extraordinary ability to maintain their dignity despite their daily struggles to eke out a living in the face of structural violence and unrelenting hardship reveals a tremendously powerful will and capacity to keep going
