Selbe : one among many = Selbe et tant d'autres
Examines the economic and social roles of rural African women by focussing on the situation of a Senegalese village woman. Selbe has the heavy responsibility of providing for a large family as her husband searches unsuccessfully for work in a neighbouring town. On his return, he joins the other unemployed men of the village, who will not help the women, but are as dependent on them as the children for food and shelter
