Morocco: Migration Studies
Gain a multifaceted perspective of migration in Morocco, a country propelled onto the center stage of international debate by geography and current dynamics in global economy and world relations. At the tip of the Mediterranean rim, Morocco has had intertwined and tumultuous relations with Europe for centuries. Since its independence in 1956, the country has been a major source of unskilled, then skilled, labor for expanding European economies. Today, Europe is home to more than two million first-, second-, and third-generation Moroccans who have kept close ties with their country of origin.
Morocco has also become a country of transit for sub-Saharan African migrants, and is rapidly developing into a receiving country for migrants. This diverse human mobility has tremendous impact on class and economy, ethnic and racial relations, and on the overall tapestry of Moroccan culture and society. In this context, Morocco provides an excellent site for a comprehensive study of migration.
