Here, a large number of West Africans and young Moroccans, including minors, make daily attempts to cross to Europe. The Moroccan city of Tangier, because of its proximity to Spain, is one of the main gateways for this migratory movement. It has also become a magnet for middle- and working-class Europeans seeking a more comfortable life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on extensive fieldwork, \u003ci\u003eLiving Tangier\u003c\/i\u003e examines the dynamics of transnational migration in a major city of the Global South and studies African \"illegal\" migration to Europe and European \"legal\" migration to Morocco, looking at the itineraries of Europeans, West Africans, and Moroccan children and youth, their strategies for crossing, their motivations, their dreams, their hopes, and their everyday experiences. In the process, Abdelmajid Hannoum examines how Moroccan society has been affected by the flows of migrants from both West Africa and Europe, focusing on race relations and analyzing issues related to citizenship and social inequality. \u003ci\u003eLiving Tangier\u003c\/i\u003e considers what makes the city one of the most attractive for migrants preparing to cross to Europe and illustrates not only how migrants live in the city but also how they \u003ci\u003elive\u003c\/i\u003e the city--how they experience it, encounter its people, and engage its culture, walk its streets, and participate in its events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReflecting on his own experiences and drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt, Edward Said, Tayeb Saleh, Amin Maalouf, and Dany Laferri鑽e, Hannoum provokes new questions in order to reconfigure migration as a postcolonial phenomenon and interrogate how Moroccan society responds to new cultural processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abdelmajid Hannoum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812251725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812251722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Abdelmajid Hannoum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980585664767,"sku":"9780812251722","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c3db908-0d8b-4576-aec7-4c87a63aed88.jpg?v=1683250741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-tangier-abdelmajid-hannoum-9780812251722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
