Abstract of the chapter: This chapter aims to fill a gap in the literature by exploring the daily life of Europeans living in Muslim contexts. It sheds light on the legislative and religious boundaries experienced by European-Moroccan families living in Morocco. The first part explores the challenges faced by these individuals with regard to the Moroccan Family Code. While the Family Code presupposes social cohesion based on religion and leaves little room for personal choice, this section also sheds light on some of the strategies developed in order to gain legal rights. The second section highlights the complexity of religious transmission for mixed families living in a non-secular country. It shows the impact of the Moroccan context on social practices and how the mixed couples interviewed navigate social pressure and social convention. This paper argues that, ultimately, the capacity to negotiate, the ability to be flexible and the possibility for adaptation within society are indispensable elements for navigating the Moroccan context.

Abstract of the book: At a time when European unity is politically challenged by the question of immigration and integration, it is easy to overlook the fact that there are significant numbers of Europeans leaving the continent. Academically, little is known about why Europeans leave the continent, how they chose their destination, and how they experience their migrant life. Drawing on the lived experiences of contemporary European emigrants from a range of different countries, this book sheds light on how global economic, political and social transformations spur new forms of migration and mobility experiences. Contemporary European Emigration explores how Europeans experience economic, cultural or social integration, and the power relations which play out between them and their hosts. By delving through the lenses of national and racial identity, gender, age, and profession, this book provides enticing insights into how Europeans see themselves in the world. By shifting our focus to migrants leaving Europe and observing the emerging challenges to European superiority as they play out in the microlevel of people’s everyday lives, this book provides a nuanced understanding of contemporary migration. Researchers within Migration Studies and European Studies will find this book an important addition to the literature.

Best regards,

Catherine Therrien
