Middle Classes in Africa project
JOAN BARDELETTI
Who are the 220 million Africans who no longer live in poverty and now own a “small wealth”? African middle classes !
The demographic boom of this population with very real purchasing power has meant major upheavals on the continent, as much in terms or consumerism as good governance. The African middle classes are the pointer for evolution on the African continent; knowing about them is a priority.
I worked with the university of Sciences Po Bordeaux and its departement Africa to include sociological and analytical content to my photo approach
A 3 years project (2008-2011). This is the most important body of work ever carried out on this population, mixing expertise and photography in five countries and over a period of three years.
