What does migration look like from the inside out? In The Outside,
Alice Elliot decenters conventional approaches to migration by
focusing on places of departure rather than arrival and rethinks
migration from the perspective of those who have not (yet) left.
Through an intimate ethnography of towns and villages notorious in
Morocco for their striking emigration to "the outside," Elliot
traces the powerful ways migration permeates life: as brutal
bureaucratic machinery administering hope and despair, as intimate
force crisscrossing kinship relations and bonds of love and care,
as imaginative horizon of the self and of the future. Challenging
dominant understandings of migration and their deadly consequences
by centering non-migrants' sharp theorizations and intimate
experiences of "the outside," Elliot recasts migration as a deeply
relational entity, and attends to the ethnographic, conceptual, and
political imagination required by the constitutive relationship
between migration and life.
