Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation is a nuanced exploration of the
embodied and affective practices of Moroccans from Europe visiting
Morocco for summer vacation. Rather than characterizing them as
uncomfortably split between homelands, this book focuses on how
their touristic leisure practices create their own space of
diasporic belonging. An expert on Moroccan diaspora communities and
mobile lifestyles, the book draws on multi-sited and mobile
ethnographic research to take the reader along on the journey
'home' and experience the daily lives of diasporic visitors. Their
practices, activities, and encounters on vacation offer insights
into larger issues of class, leisure consumption, and transnational
belonging in South-to-North migration contexts. Concretely, the
book shows how these holiday encounters simultaneously generate
integration into Morocco for migrant descendants who can feel at
'home' in this homeland, and differentiation from others in how
they embody 'Moroccaness' as social and material actors. This book
shows how seemingly frivolous practices of leisure have material
consequences for individuals who belong across homelands.
Positioned at the intersection of migration studies, leisure and
tourism mobilities, and ethnomethodology and practice theory, this
book is a worthwhile read for scholars and students-indeed, anyone
questioning or experiencing problems of belonging in transnational
and diasporic contexts.
