EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional process of preparing couscous, a staple dish in Senegalese cuisine, in the early 20th century. The image features a Senegalese woman from the Ouoloff tribe, intently focusing on crushing chickpeas with a massive pestle and mortar. The large, earthenware mortar, adorned with intricate patterns, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Senegal. The woman's profile, framed by the rim of her traditional headwrap, exudes a sense of determination and concentration as she skillfully crushes the chickpeas. A young man from the same tribe, wearing a simple loincloth and carrying a baby on his back, observes the process with curiosity. The scene takes place in a simple, open-air setting, with the warm glow of the sun filtering through the thatched roof of a nearby hut. The tranquil atmosphere is a stark contrast to the intense focus of the woman's task. Couscous, a dish made from small, granular semolina, is a staple food in North Africa and parts of the Middle East. In Senegal, it is often prepared with chickpeas, vegetables, and meat or fish. The intricate process of making couscous by hand, as depicted in this photograph, is a testament to the deep cultural significance of food and tradition in Senegalese society. This photograph, taken circa 1903, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Ouoloff tribe during a time when traditional practices were still prevalent. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Senegal, who continue to preserve their cultural heritage through the preparation and enjoyment of their delicious and iconic dishes.
