Moroccan Diaspora in France: Community Building on Yabiladi Portal
ISSN: 2347-7474 International Journal Advances in Social Science and Humanities Available online at: www.ijassh.com RESEARCH ARTICLE Moroccan Diaspora in France: Community Building on Yabiladi Portal Tarik Samak Abstract Over the last decade, social networking sites emerge as an ideal tool of communication that facilitate interaction among people online. At the same time, in a world which is characterized by massive waves of migration, globalization results in the construction of the diaspora who seek through new ways to build communities. Within this framework, while traditional media have empowered diaspora members to maintain ties and bonds with their homeland and fellow members, the emergence of social media have offered new opportunities for diasporas to get involved in diasporic identity and community construction. The creation of several diasporic groups on social media like Yabiladi.com and WAFIN.be, respectively in France and Belguim, emphasize the vital role they play in everyday lives of the diaspora. To study the importance and implications of these online communities for diaspora members and investigate their online practices, this article carries out a virtual ethnography of the Moroccan community on Yabiladi portal in France. By means of the qualitative approach of interviews, this article aims at justifying whether the online groups of diasporic diasporic Moroccans in France can be defined as communities, and whether social networking sites can be considered as an alternative landscape for the diaspora to create links with other diasporic members. This article, through users’ experience, provides deep understanding of Yabiladi members’ beliefs about the ‘‘community’’ and their online daily practices which enable them to ‘‘imagine’’ it as a community. -

Introduction When speaking of labour migrants in France the terms typically employed are “foreign work- ers” (travailleurs étrangers) or “immigrant workers” (travailleurs immigrés). Those terms how- ever, do not take notice of the different regimes of incorporation of immigrant ethnic minorities and the different accommodation strategies for different categories of labour immigrants such as “colonial workers”, “seasonal workers” and “guest workers”. -

Though a number of different political parties submitted proposals, then-Prime Minister Jacques Chirac’s centre-right coalition led this initiative and pushed for measures that would have the effect of generally restricting eligibility for French citizenship. In particular, the government proposed to modify the process by which children born in France to immigrant parents could gain French citizenship. These reforms had come in the wake of a massive influx of immigrants in the second half of the twentieth century, many of whom came from North Africa but also elsewhere. As a new generation of young French men and women of immigrant heritage was coming of age, many in France began to raise questions about their inherent “Frenchness” and therefore place in French society and entitlement to nationality. According to proponents of the proposed amendments, by replacing the automatic right to citizenship through birth on French soil with an active process of application, these measures would ensure that only those expressing a desire to become French would receive citizenship. -

At the end of the colonial period, even though they were French, the Algerians living in metropolitan France were labelled as ‘French Muslims of Algeria’ and enumerated separately in the census. Angéline Escafré-Dublet, Lionel Kesztenbaum, and Patrick Simon explain how the government managed to identify them in the census, while pretending not to do so. From the end of the 19th century, the census bulletin Counting the colonials in metropolitan France (mainland France and Corsica) included questions on place of birth and nationality Before the Second World War, the distinction made in presented in a relatively stable format. From 1891, a the French colonies between French citizens (mainly distinction was made between French citizens by birth, colonial settlers) and French subjects (indigenous naturalized citizens, and foreigners. This triple populations) was reflected in the metropolitan census, categorization reflects the French administration’s with the former categorized as ‘French by birth’ and approach to qualifying the diversity of origins [1]. the latter grouped with ‘foreigners’.

Reviewed by Deborah Harrold (Department of Political Science, Bryn Mawr College) Published on H-Gender-MidEast (September, 2006) Colonial Categories in Postmodern Politics: Algerian Berbers in France Anthropologist Paul Silverstein has written an impressive and engrossing account of the contemporary articulation and deployment of identity, turning on the postcolonial deployment of colonial categories in the metropole. The work is a valuable corrective to ubiquitous binaries: nation/globalization, citizen/immigrant, assimilation/cultural refusal. His accounts of individual trajectories, organizational strategies, and state policies contribute to a particularly fine understanding of the choices, strategies, and tactics available to global subalterns. Silverstein's fieldwork in contemporary France examines the reinvestment in colonial categories of Berber identity and the redeployment of these identities as one strategy of identity for Kabyle Algerians in France. Berber identity, he suggests, is an Algerian and North African identity that is an alternate, parallel, or supplementary choice to Islamic identity, poised both against and with a French identity; a French identity that beckons, promises, -
The State of the Art on Moroccan Emigration to Europe
The State of the Art on Moroccan Emigration to Europe LITERATURE REVIEW By Lalla Amina Drhimeur ERC AdG PRIME Youth Researcher, European Institute İstanbul Bilgi University PhD candidate in political science, Hassan II School of Law, Mohammedia, Casablanca, Morocco May 12, 2020 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3822021 ERC AdG PRIME Youth ISLAM-OPHOB-ISM 785934 Preface This literature review, prepared by Lalla Amina Drhimeur, is a state of the art on Moroccan emigration to Europe. It explores the history of Moroccan emigration to Europe with a focus on Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, which are the countries studied in the scope of the “PRIME Youth” project. This review also seeks to understand the recruitment processes deployed by receiving countries, as well as the regulations, and integration experiences that took place between the early 20th century and the 1960s. In doing so, it illustrates that Moroccan emigration is diverse and flexible in the way it adjusts to changing immigration policies, changes in the job market in the host countries but also to political, economic and social changes in Morocco. This literature review was prepared in the scope of the ongoing EU-funded research for the “PRIME Youth” project conducted under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, Prof. Dr. Ayhan Kaya, and funded by the European Research Council with the Agreement Number 785934.

Doubts About the Republic's Abilities to Integrate the Immigrants: Between Uncertain Policies and Contrasted Social Realities
Integration of immigrants in France: an historical perspective Jacques Barou Summary For a long time, the integration of immigrants in France appeared to be successful. However, in recent years we have noticed a growing difficulty for migrants and their descendants to find their place in the receiving society, irrespective of the policies implemented by socialist or conservative governments. The so-called French republican model of integration has partly become ineffective. An analysis of the concept of integration as it was defined by Durkheim at the end of the nineteenth century and a look at what the process of integration has been in the recent history shall help us to understand why integration policy has been relatively ineffective. Such policy was developed recently following the partial failure of policies of social integration and cultural assimilation. After becoming effective, the main paths towards integration were seriously weakened by two decades of crisis. The employment market has created a lack of job security and social exclusion. The educational system seems less and less able to convey moral values and common secular rules at the same time as it offers unequal chances of success and social advancement. Growing residential segregation and its ethnic dimension strengthen these negative trends. However, immigrants and their descendants who enjoy a favourable environment succeed in integrating into society and sharing chief republican values. Thus, the process of integration seems largely independent of integration policy but it remained strongly dependant on the local context and on its economic, social and cultural dimensions Integration of immigrants in France: a historical perspective A paradoxical situation France has always been a country of immigration. -
