Moroccan Migration in Belgium

First volume in the new series CeMIS Migration and Intercultural Studies
Moroccans are one of the largest and most debated migrant groups in Belgium. Moroccan Migration in Belgium analyses diverse facets of this community from a multidisciplinary perspective and addresses the most relevant and some underexposed topics in the rapidly developing field of migration studies. Combining various academic disciplines and different research methods, the book offers a panoramic introspection into the dynamic nature of migration studies in general and Moroccan studies in particular. The contributions of established academics and young researchers will not only appeal to scientific peers working on this domain, but also to teachers, social workers, policy advisors and other interested people who work from close or afar with this minority group.

Despite its flaws, 'Moroccan Migration in Belgium' is definitely a good reference work for those interested in guest worker migration and especially in the fortunes of the generations that have settled in Western European countries such as Belgium. Especially for Belgian migration scholars, it is a good collection to have in one’s library. Even though the quality of the chapters is uneven, and their focus is mostly on the situation in Flanders, they all provide a useful starting point to dive deeper into the state-of-the-art of this burgeoning field.
