Abstract
For ten years, a dahira, a religious group of Senegalese migrants in the State of Rio de Janeiro has grown. I accompanied the unique process of how this Murid dahira was institutionalised and became part of the international network of the brotherhood. I discuss how the dahira became an arrival infrastructure in the specific context of Rio de Janeiro and I compare its initiatives with parallel Senegalese structures. This shows the complexity of the socio-material relations among the Senegalese.
