This book discusses the current socio-cultural situation of North African migrants in Europe, and analyzes migration, gender, and identity in their multiple dimensions, consequences and expressions, which range from sociological approaches to culture and literature. The chapters debate the topic of migration and culture from various angles, making this volume a forum where notions of dispossession, cultural identity, and otherness are debated. It comprises contributions that range in subject matter from sociological and anthropological studies of Maghrebi diaspora and migrants in Europe to reflections on transnational literature. It is an analysis of migration with all its complex aspects, and multiple expressions of 'exile', 'otherness', and 'pain'.

The Maghrebi Quarter of Jerusalem long sat in the shadow of the Western Wall, the last vestige of the Second Temple. Three days after the June '67 War, Israeli forces razed the Quarter, its narrow alleys widened and homes removed, to create the Western Wall Plaza. With this book, Vincent Lemire offers the first history of the Maghrebi Quarter—spanning 800 years from its founding by Saladin in 1187 to house North African Muslim pilgrims through to its destruction. To bring this vanished district back to life, Lemire gathers its now-scattered documentation in the archives of Muslim pious foundations in Jerusalem and the Red Cross in Geneva, in Ottoman archives in Istanbul and Israeli state archives. He engages testimonies of former residents and looks to recent archaeological digs that have resurfaced household objects buried during the destruction. Today, the Western Wall Plaza extends over the former Maghrebi Quarter. It is one of the most identifiable places in the world—yet one of the most occluded in history. In the Shadow of the Wall offers a new point of entry to understand this consequential place.

Les immigrés sont-ils mobiles ? Quel usage font-ils de la ville ? Quel rôle peuvent jouer les transports, en particulier collectifs, dans leur vie quotidienne ? Autant de questions dont les réponses passent par une meilleure compréhension du choc culturel et de la condition sociale vécues par ces populations. Les réponses nécessitent aussi que soit brisée l'image déformante d'une population maghrébine considérée comme uniforme. Ainsi, ce livre montre toute la diversité des situations, des attitudes, des perceptions de la ville et de la société, même lorsque les personnes que l'auteur a regardé vivre et écoutées habitent sur le même palier.

Writing in the wake of the political and social uprisings known as the "Arab Spring" and the restrictive European immigration policies that followed, Hakim Abderrezak contests the common notion that emigrants from former European colonies migrate predominantly to the land of the ex-colonizer. Focusing particularly on clandestine migration practices, he shows that despite a linguistic affinity, a tradition of labor, and additional historical ties with the colonizer, migrants from the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) are no longer trekking to France, but instead are drifting toward other destinations like Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Middle East. Abderrezak locates this migratory shift away from France in literary, cinematic, and musical representations of the emigrant's journey. Contrary to mass media coverage and mainstream political discourse, these cultural productions reveal new patterns of human movement and an alternative mapping of the Mediterranean.

Les Ghoujdama, tribu du Haut Atlas, par leur ancrage dans l'histoire et leur capacité d'adaptation au monde moderne constituent un cas exemplaire pour comprendre le Maroc et par-delà le monde rural maghrébin. Par une étude historique solide, l'auteur nous montre les Ghoujdama à l'aube du xxe siècle, sous la double domination du Glaoui et du Protectorat et depuis l'indépendance. Grâce à la connaissance intime de ce milieu dont il est issu, ALI AMAHAN, dans le sillage de Robert Montagne, Jacques Berque, Paul Pascon, Pierre Bourdieu, aborde avec acuité, justesse et authenticité l'analyse des mutations sociales chez les Ghoujdama. Il révèle les mécanismes enfouis dans les structures sociales et mentales, dévoile la dynamique spécifique qui incite au changement mais aussi à la résistance, et montre que la confrontation entre changement et permanence n'est en fait que la juxtaposition de deux systèmes, l'un moderne et puissant, l'autre traditionnel et ancestral. Ces systèmes se complètent et ne s'opposent que rarement ; ils s'appuient mutuellement l'un sur l'autre pour perdurer et évoluer.
