[Leica] Nathan's PAD 23/5/2015: the Hat Man

[Nathan Wajsman]

Not the Mad Hatter, though—he is one of the many African immigrants who make it to Spain, either by boat or by jumping the fence surrounding the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the north coast of Morocco. The young men often start their climb on the social ladder by selling clothes, counterfeit sunglasses and the like on the beaches:

In winter they tend to offer DVDs in bars. People accept them, partly because they are polite and not pushy (you decline once and they do not try to push you to buy), they do not commit crimes, and many Spaniards can remember when Spain was a country which sent hundreds of thousands of economic migrants to Northern Europe-

Cheers,
Nathan
