THE " SIGNARES"




Signares (from Portuguese "senhora") :

African or half-cast women that Europeans would marry "according to the custom of the country" (that is to say for the time spent in the colony. ) .
They formed the "high society" of Saint-Louis and Goree up to the middle of the XIXth century.
This "marriage" practice came to an end with the modernization of living conditions of the white community and the discovery of preventive treatment of tropical diseases which made possible for European wives to follow their husbands in Africa.


"Je me rappelle les signares à l'ombre verte des vérandas, les signares aux yeux surréels comme un clair de lune sur la grève ..."
