Questions persist about post-migrant generations and their sense of
belonging in one homeland or another. As descendants of migrants,
‘second’ and further generations often struggle to establish an
unproblematic belonging in/to a resident homeland, as the place
where they live and work but are often categorized as
‘outsiders’. Simultaneously, because of improving access to
travel, they can also maintain a physical presence in an ancestral
homeland. However, their encounters there may also problematize
their sense of belonging. During their summertime visits to
Morocco, the European-Moroccan participants in this ethnography
repeatedly find themselves negotiating a sense of belonging in the
‘homeland’. This book analyzes how these negotiations take
place in order to investigate how the categories of ‘diasporic’
and ‘Moroccan’ become shaped by the interactional encounters
observed. In the setting of Morocco, where trajectories to and from
Europe have colored several centuries of history, this book
provides a framework to explore how migration and return become
incorporated into contemporary ‘Moroccanness’.
