Moroccan diasporic narratives navigate the spaces between the country of origin and residence. These spaces are central to cultural survival and community identity, forging identities that are dynamic and plural rather than fixed and singular.
The dynamic evolution of the Moroccan diasporic and transnational experiences has always responded to many modes of expression. As cultural styles of the diaspora are visually and textually documented in films, paintings, photographs, narratives, and other instances, other unofficial documents have thrived in spaces of movement and settling. These spaces become central to the societies’ cultural, religious, economic, and political survival and help the continuation and consolidation of a community identity. These form significant identities and communities between the country of origin and the country of residence, and many narratives exist to navigate these spaces. The intimate relationship between space and discourse becomes ostensible in sites of individual and community transplantations. The identities evolving out of this in-betweenness are dynamic and plural rather than fixed and singular. Such an array of Moroccan experiences in movement makes engaging with the sprouting evolution of the transnational imperative in an age of late capitalism and tremendous technological flow.
