Cet exercice est un regard rétrospectif sur un parcours personnel et donc sur les personnes qui m’ont accompagné au fil de ces années. Ma première pensée va à Serge Weber qui a bien voulu diriger cette habilitation. Ses conseils et ses encouragements m’ont apporté ce dont j’avais le plus besoin : une certaine confiance en moi et en mon travail. Cette habilitation n’aurait pas été la même sans lui. J’ai toutefois un regret, celui de ne pas avoir accordé plus de temps pour mieux connaître ses propres recherches et construire un échange. Mais cette habilitation n’est pas un aboutissement, c’est un point de départ. J’ai initialement pensé cette HDR comme un temps de construction d’un dialogue scientifique. Laurent Faret, Stéphanie Lima, Hamidou Dia, Swanie Potot, Camille Schmoll et Hélène Thiollet ont répondu positivement à cette invitation. Je dois avouer que j’ai sous-estimé la charge de travail que représentait cette épreuve et n’ai pas su trouver la formule idéale pour construire les conditions de cet échange… Mais cette proposition tient toujours ! Je voudrais remercier Catherine Wihtol de Wenden et l’ensemble de l’équipe de Migrinter pour ces années d’amitié. Grâce à eux, mon parcours aura été une expérience humaine exceptionnelle. Je sais tout ce que je leur dois. Une HDR n’est pas seulement une épreuve personnelle mais aussi familiale. Un grand merci à Elya et Noam pour leur (im-)patience. Ils vont enfin pouvoir retrouver l’ordinateur domestique que je vais libérer, mais aussi un père un peu plus attentif. Et c’est aussi épreuve physique ! Gaëlle Goudigan aura permis à mon dos de traverser cette période, qu’elle en soit remerciée. Et enfin, last but not least, c’est grâce au regard acéré de Dalenda Mendes et à la dextérité logicielle de Audrey Brosset que des centaines de coquilles et autres mots manquants ont pu être corrigés. Il y a 20 ans, entre Hellemmes et Villeneuve-d’Ascq, une étudiante sur un vélo m’a dit : Thomas, arrête les IRA et va faire le DEA à Poitiers, tu n’es pas fait pour être gestionnaire de lycée. Comme tu avais raison… Merci à toi Yasmina. Un dernier mot sur la photo de couverture. Elle est de l’artiste plasticien Daniel Purroy, que j’ai rencontré à Saint Pierre de Corps dans le cadre d’une résidence d’artiste organisée par le Pôle des Arts Urbain en mars 2016.

  • 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.

  • 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. AYHAN KAYA Principal Investigator, ERC AdG PRIME Youth Research Jean Monnet Chair of European Politics of Interculturalism Director, European Institute İstanbul Bilgi University 2 The State of the Art on Moroccan Emigration to Europe Lalla Amina Drhimeur Introduction This state of the art on Moroccan emigration to Europe seeks to explore the history of Moroccan emigration to Europe with a focus on Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

The paper first analyses how the evolution and transformation of North African migration systems has been an integral part of more general processes of political and economic change. Subsequently, the extent to which policies can enhance the development impact of migration is assessed by analysing the case of Morocco, the region’s leading emigration coun� try. Over 3 million people of Moroccan descent (out of 30 million Moroccans) live abroad, mainly in Europe. Since the 1960s, the Moroccan state has stimulated migration for economic and political reasons, while simultaneously trying to maintain a tight control on «its» emi� grants. However, fearing remittance decline, a remarkable shift occurred after 1989. Along with policies to facilitate holiday visits and remittances, the Moroccan state adopted positive attitudes towards migrants’ transnational civic activism, integration and double citizenship. Huge increases in remittances (well over $5 billion in 2006) and holiday visits suggest that these policies have been partially successful.

In contrast with other North African states, Morocco has made emigration a key tool of its development policy. Against this backdrop, Moroccan authorities have maintained a continuous and often confrontational dialogue with Moroccan organizations abroad (Iskander 2010). Since the sixties, they played a key role in representing the overseas diaspora. But far from being a mere transmission belt of state policies, the Moroccan organizational field has generated a large array of political, cultural and social connections.

  • Being Moroccan’ Today: Dilemmas of Identity Related to the Origin of Moroccan Migrants in Europe

In this article the focus is on the influence of ethnicity, understood in terms of categories inherent in the sending context, on the dilemmas of identity of Moroccan interviewees in Granada and Paris. * * * Badania nad obecnością imigrantów muzułmańskich w Europie często koncentrują się na ścieżkach integracji w nowych krajach z uwzględnieniem ich specyfiki, w mniejszym zaś stopniu na kontekstach warunkujących tożsamościowe wybory badanych, które odnoszą się do specyfiki ich kraju pochodzenia. W niniejszym artykule analizuję wpływ etniczności rozumianej w kategoriach wyniesionych z kraju pocho- dzenia na tożsamościowe rozterki moich marokańskich rozmówców w Paryżu i Granadzie. K e y w o r d s: Moroccans, ethnicity, regionalisms, migration The reflections presented in this article were provided by research conducted between 2006 and 2010. The Islamic presence in Europe is exemplified as perceived and as self-perceived; as Moroccans and as Senegalese; and in three countries: Spain, Italy and France. The main goal has been to gain a better knowledge about the Muslim migration experience in particular concerning integration in its social and economic dimensions. The most important source of information has been a series of interviews with migrants, the aim of which was to explore and present the Muslim migrants’ per- spective: their vision of the world, their terminology, their categorizations of different phenomena and how they define themselves.

  • Moroccan Migration to France: Historical Patterns and Effects on Assimilation
    Moroccan Migration to France: Historical Patterns and Effects on Assimilation Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Global Studies Professor Jytte Klausen In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Global Studies by Shayna Straus May 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank both the former and current head of the Graduate Global Studies program, Professor Chandler Rosenberger and Professor Kristen Lucken respectively, for their interest and immense support during the formative stages of this thesis, as well as serving as invaluable professors at different stages of my education. I am also very grateful to my advisor, Professor Jytte Klausen, without whom this research would not have been possible. Her knowledge on immigration and Muslims living in the Western world is not only incredible, but also deeply inspiring. ii Migration from Morocco to France: A Historical Overview of Migration Patterns from 1912 to Present Day and Their Affects on Assimilation in the Destination Country A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Global Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Shayna Straus ABSTRACT This paper seeks to understand assimilation patterns of Moroccan immigrants in France. Through the study of quotidian Moroccan life, starting with the establishment of the French protectorate, both the reasons and conditions of migration are outlined. It is only through an extensive examination and deep understanding of these pre-migratory processes that behavior upon arrival in the receiving country can begin to be understood, and eventually predicted.

  • THE POLITICAL INTEGRATION of MOROCCANS in EUROPE An
    THE POLITICAL INTEGRATION OF MOROCCANS IN EUROPE An Analysis of the Attitudinal and Behavioural Engagement of Moroccan-origin Residents in Politics in Five European Cities Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester By Zakaria Sajir School of Media, Communication and Sociology University of Leicester June 2018 Abstract In this dissertation I focus on the political integration of the people of migrant-origin from Morocco. The main objective is to explore how con- textual factors shape the political engagement of this group. In addition, the varying migration trajectories and histories of settlement in Europe of this large, heterogeneous, stigmatised, and understudied group are made visible. I begin by advancing my own conception of political integration, adding to work that seeks to fill a gap in the literature on migrant integra- tion, which has predominantly focused on the social and economic aspects. Using this concept, I analyse the attitudinal and behavioural forms of politi- cal engagement expressed by the members of the Moroccan-origin commu- nities residing in Brussels, Lyon, Turin, Barcelona, and Madrid. I use survey data from the LOCALMULTIDEM project, a sister project, and an original survey in Turin that I designed and conducted. I investigated how contex- tual factors—the presence of local voting rights in favour of non-European nationals and the strength of the anti-discrimination policies implemented in the countries of residence—can shape the way Moroccan-origin individ- uals engage in their countries of residence. I conducted a series of multivari- ate analyses whilst controlling for the influence of individual attributes, like gender, age, and education.
