At an entrance to
Madrid’s historic Plaza
Mayor, Senegalese
migrants take a break
from their labors for
an autumn celebration
of drumming, singing,
and prayerful thanks.
In urban Spain, many
Africans have been
unable to obtain for-
mal work permits.
A popular alternative:
peddling merchandise
on blankets that can
be whisked away when
police show up. The
salesmen are called
manteros, blanket men.
