While some people study globalization, others live their lives as
global experiments. This book brings together people who do both.
The authors or subjects of these studies are of diverse national,
religious, and ethnic backgrounds. What they have in common is a
connection to Morocco. It is from this shared space that they draw
on personal stories, fieldwork, and literary and linguistic
analysis to provide a critical, socially reflexive response to the
conceptions of culture, identity, and mobility that animate debates
on migration and cosmopolitanism. On the trail of the Bedouin or
Europe's new nomads and of Zaccarias Moussaoui Places We Share
explores the relationship of mobility to subjectivity, and how
physically moving can be a way of escaping the stigma of being an
immigrant. Reading Rushdie, listening to Moroccan women converse in
the UAE, or examining how the experience of serial migration can
shape comparative ethnography we become more aware of how moving
pushes us up against the limits of global experience. These limits
must be recognized. They can be positively embraced to develop new
ways of conceiving of ourselves, the world and our connections to
others.
